Arguing that rigidly doctrinal approaches can't account for messy, real-world situations, he suggests that the courts loosen their reins and let those institutions with a stake in First Amendment freedoms do more of the work of enforcing them. Universities, the press, libraries, churches, and various other institutions and associations are a fundamental part of the infrastructure of public discourse. Rather than subject them to ill-fitting, top-down rules and legal categories, courts should make them partners in shaping public discourse and First Amendment law, giving these institutions substantial autonomy to regulate their own affairs. Self-regulation and public criticism should be the key restraints on these institutions, not judicial fiat. Horwitz suggests that this approach would help the law enhance the contribution of our "First Amendment institutions" to social and political life. It would also move us toward a conception of the state as a participating member of our social framework, rather than a reigning and often overbearing sovereign. First Amendment Institutions offers a new vantage point from which to evaluate ongoing debates over topics ranging from campaign finance reform to campus hate speech and affirmative action in higher education. This book promises to promote-and provoke-important new discussions about the shape and future of the First Amendment. 606 $aAssembly, Right of$zUnited States 606 $aFreedom of religion$zUnited States 606 $aFreedom of speech$zUnited States 606 $aFreedom of the press$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAssembly, Right of 615 0$aFreedom of religion 615 0$aFreedom of speech 615 0$aFreedom of the press 676 $a323.440973 700 $aHorwitz$b Paul$01032625 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463176803321 996 $aFirst Amendment institutions$92450594 997 $aUNINA
