The National Obscenity Law Center

The National Obscenity Law Center (NOLC), a project of Morality in Media, is a privately funded clearinghouse on obscenity and related laws. NOLC resources are utilized by prosecutors, law enforcement agencies, law libraries, legislators, and others. The NOLC publishes the bi-monthly Obscenity Law Bulletin and the three-volume Obscenity Law Reporter.

Safe States and Cities Project

In 2001, the National Obscenity Law Center (NOLC) launched the Safe States and Cities Project to help communities control problems associated with the proliferation of “sexually oriented businesses.” NOLC attorneys and law students have prepared case law studies (state-by-state) on specific types of sexually oriented business (SOB) problems. These case law studies -- and examples of ordinances that regulate the type of SOB covered by the case law study -- are available at little or no cost to municipalities and counties.
