Description
The Free Speech Century by Lee C. Bollinger and Geoffrey R. Stone is a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of free speech doctrine in America since 1919. This landmark work brings together leading constitutional scholars to assess the development of First Amendment jurisprudence and its future trajectory. From the Schenck v. United States decision, which laid the foundation for robust protection of free speech, to the current era of shifting societal threats and new technologies of communication, this book examines how the context of free speech laws and norms has grown exponentially over time. The authors argue that the scope of protection afforded by these laws is remarkable, yet also subject to ongoing refinement in response to changing circumstances. Through a nuanced analysis of key cases and developments, The Free Speech Century provides a timely and authoritative assessment of the state of First Amendment jurisprudence in America today.
