This book offers an informed discussion of the legal issues involved in free speech on private property and examines the important cases that have established precedents for protected forms of speech in quasi-public forums. Following a general introduction to the freedom of speech issue, Freedman explores the evolution of legal thinking on the subject by examining such developments as restrictions on freedom of speech, state action under the First and Fourteenth Amendments, governmental speech restrictions on private property, picketing, petitioning, and electioneering, as well as the issue of pornography under the First Amendment. Throughout, the discussion is presented in a readable yet fully documented format. Guidelines for the regulation of interest groups and their activities on private property are also provided.
