Speaking Freely: Trials of the First Amendment Paperback - 2006
by Floyd Abrams
In the tradition of such bestselling authors on legal issues as F. Lee Bailey, Louis Nizer, and Alan Dershowitz, Abrams discusses seven of the most important cases of his career--landmark cases that upheld key First Amendment protections.
Summary
The rights guaranteed in the First Amendment—including freedom of expression—are among the fundamental touchstones of our democracy. In Speaking Freely, Floyd Abrams, who for over thirty years has been our most eloquent and respected advocate for uncensored expression, recounts some of the major cases of his remarkable career—landmark trials and Supreme Court arguments that have involved key First Amendment protections.With adversaries as diverse as Richard Nixon and Wayne Newton and allies as unlikely as Kenneth Starr, Abrams takes readers behind the scenes to explain his strategies, the ramifications of each decision, and its long-term significance, presenting a clear and compelling look at the law in action.
First line
A FEW YEARS ago, I was asked to write an introduction for a book entitled Political Censorship, a collection of New York Times articles that had been published on that topic throughout the twentieth century.
