Sommario/riassunto

Tinker. R.A.V. Ollman. Hustler-Falwell. Reno-ACLU. Nebraska Press Association. These names are synonymous with contemporary First Amendment litigation. To explore these landmark cases more deeply, author Joseph Russomanno interviewed the people at the core of these and other influential First Amendment cases, and he presents their stories here in a personal, in-depth oral history of First Amendment



law. Previously unavailable in other literature, these stories go beyond the ""what"" of the cases and answer the ""why"" and ""how"" of ten major cases from the latter part of the 20th century. Thr
