Arizona Court of Appeals Cites Professor Cotter's Article on Anonymous Speech

In its opinion in Doe v. Hon. Margaret Mahoney, the Arizona Court of Appeals quoted Lyrissa Lidsky and Thomas Cotter's 2007 article Authorship, Audiences, and Anonymous Speech, 82 Notre Dame L. Rev. 1537, for the proposition that (“If all it takes is an allegation of defamation to uncover a defendant’s identity, the right to speak anonymously is very fragile indeed . . . [o]n the other hand, anonymity should not immunize the defendant’s tortious conduct.”).
