             Biographical note 
             Steve Bright was the Student Government President at the University of Kentucky during the 1970-1971 academic year. During that time, UK students held various protests about social and political issues. On May 6-7, 1970, one particular protest against U.S. troops being sent to Cambodia and the recent deaths of Kent State students led to the burning of an ROTC building. Governor Nunn then declared the University of Kentucky campus in a state of emergency and called for National Guardsmen and state police to inhabitat campus to maintain order. On May 7, what was viewed as illegal assemblies of student protestors led to the arrest of several students, including Steve Bright for disorderly conduct. Steve Bright later filed suit against the Commonwealth of Kentucky for his arrest. 
             Lewis Colten was a student at the University of Kentucky, when in 1970, after Mrs. Richard Nixon left the Lexington Airport, he was accused of causing a traffic disturbance by pulling over when a friend was pulled over by police for expired tags. He was asked to leave, and when he did not, was arrested for disorderly conduct. Colten testified that police used unwarranted force agaianst him while being arrested. The case went through the Fayette County Circuit Court, Court of Appeals of Kentucky, and the U.S. Supreme Court. 
             Alvin L. Goldman graduated from Columbia University and the New York University of Law. He was an Arthur Garfield Hays Civil Liberties Fellow and worked for the NYU Law Review. Goldman also worked for Parker Chapin & Flattau, and then became a Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky in 1965. Goldman is the author of several books and is currently the Secretary-Treasurer of the U.S. Branch of the International Society for Labor and Social Security Law.
