Abstract
A version of this paper was originally prepared for the International Municipal Lawyers Association Mid-Year Seminar, April 21–24. The author drafted APA's Amicus Brief in the most recent case to go before the U.S. Supreme Court concerning adult business regulations, City of Los Angeles v. Alameda Books, Inc. and Highland Books, Inc. No. 00–799. (At press time, a decision had not been rendered.) This is part one of a two-part commentary. Part two will run in a future issue of Land Use Law & Zoning Digest.
