Floyd Abrams has been on the front lines of nearly every one of these major cases, which is also to say that, more than any other person, he has forged this country's legal understanding of free speech. Litigating everything from national-security and prior-restraint issues to controversies concerning the law of libel and attempts by local officials to censor art, Abrams has worked devotedly to protect the First Amendment, the "crown jewel" of America's Constitution. This collection of Abrams's writings gathers speeches, articles, debates, briefs, oral arguments, and testimony from his entire career. The writings illuminate topics of ongoing import: WikiLeaks, the correctness of the Citizens United case, journalist shield laws, and, not least, the responsibilities of the press. An exceptional writer and a brilliant thinker, Abrams offers a unique perspective on the First Amendment and the unparalleled rights it confers. 606 $aFreedom of expression$zUnited States 606 $aLawyers$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aFreedom of expression 615 0$aLawyers 676 $a342.7308/53 700 $aAbrams$b Floyd$01513066 701 $aKaren Gantz Zahler Literary Management$01513067 712 02$aKaren Gantz Zahler Literary Management$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786868503321 996 $aFriend of the court$93747307 997 $aUNINA
