A former jury foreman has brought a free speech challenge against secrecy rules of the Georgia Judicial Qualifications Commission, which handles complaints about judges. The foreman, represented by the ACLU, attacks the commission's rules requiring people who file complaints with the commission to keep that fact secret. The plaintiff, an anonymous jury foreman from a 1995 murder trial, claims the rules violate the U.S. Constitution's free speech and due process guarantees.
