Answer:

The United States Supreme Court.

Explanation:

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees citizens the right to freedom of speech. This amendment protects Legal Practitioners as it allows them to advertise in giving information to the client and potential clients. The Supreme Court in Bates v. State Bar of Arizona, however, held that Freedom of advertisement of Commercial speech by a Lawyer is guaranteed by the First Amendment and that it is unconstitutional to curtail this right.
