Reply to comment by Trygolds in NY AG wants answers on Madison Square Garden's use of facial recognition against legal opponents by Sorin61

However for instance their alcohol licence requires them to admit members of the public and enumerates the reason they can bar entry. Being an employee in a firm that is representing someone that is suing us is obviously not on the list.

Than revoke the license based on that. A ruling that would make lawyers a protected class is froth with pitfalls.

I get in this case they are a big venue but I live in a small town and lets face it regardless of the lawyers just doing their jobs I can see someone not wanting to have a lawyer suing them as a patron.

We have seen in many cases lawyers exhibiting unethical legal behavior and how reluctant the bar is to sanction them

I don't think this is about them becoming a protected class. This is about retaliation being illegal, especially a blanket ban this wide. At least after they bought a ticket. I imagine the discussion would be different if they didn't sell a ticket in the first place.

The sale of a ticket is a contract and one should expect that the contract will not be broken without good reason.
