Defamation Law
 
Michael Jeppson v. Eric Ley

This case requires us to define the “public interest” in the
internet age. The issue arises in an anti-SLAPP motion: a
special motion to strike claims under Code of Civil Procedure
section 425.16. This statute can apply if the targeted claims
arose from “protected activity,” which the statute defines to
include statements on an issue of “public interest.”
