New York Times Co. v. Sullivan Forty Years Later - Retrospective, Perspective, Prospective:a Special Issue of communication Law and Policy (Paperback)

The need to protect free speech on matters of governing importance--more than any other element of government--is the defining factor of a free society. Nowhere in the law is that prospect more clearly explained than in the opinion in "Times v. Sullivan." This special issue provides an example of the breadth and scope of "Times v. Sullivan" and the ways in which the case continues to impact the jurisprudence of free expression. It is introduced by two essays designed to provide an overview of the case, providing insights into the origins of the dispute the Court was called upon to settle. The next four articles are testimony to breadth the opinion in this case, particularly dealing with aspects not often considered. Combined, they all demonstrate the lasting significance of what may be the most important free expression case the Court has delivered.
