America's preeminent First Amendment lawyer speaks out on the most
controversial free-speech issues of our time Since 1971, when the
Pentagon Papers were leaked to the New York Times and furious
debate over First Amendment rights ensued, free-speech cases have
emerged in rapid succession. 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.
