"Defending the First" provides a collection of new perspectives on
the First Amendment in legal and communication contexts. Editor
Joseph Russomanno brings together a roster of major figures who
have participated in the shaping of First Amendment law over the
past 30 years. Readers are taken into a realm of personal
experience and analysis through the stories of these attorneys at
the forefront of the battle to defend the "First." The contributors
to this volume--all of whom have argued cases before the Supreme
Court--tell about their experiences appearing before the highest
court in the United States. Some write many years after being
there, while others offer insights from a more recent vantage
point. One Supreme Court Attorney offers a historical analysis of a
case replete with a variety of First Amendment issues.
This work contributes to a deeper understanding of First Amendment
issues and the types of expression that the First Amendment
protects, and why these rights must be protected. In addition, it
provides readers with the unique perspective of those who have been
on the front lines of some of the most important and influential
cases in this era. The challenges of presenting an argument in this
venue become clear, and it is evident that understanding one's own
case, its lineage, and its likely impact all become part of the
formula for success.
This distinctive collection provides personal and compelling
insights into the making of communication law, and it will be
engaging reading for students in communication law courses. It will
also appeal to any reader interested in First Amendment law.
