This text explores the wide variety of doctrines set forth in case law as well as the philosophical foundations of First Amendment law. Illusrative of... the topics covered is the increasing protection given to commercial speech even when government has found such speech to be sufficently harmful to merit regulation. Other examples include the diminshing protection given to the speech of government employees when that speech is undertaken in the line of duty. Included also is the continuing debate between separationists and accomodationists on the Supreme Court in the area of freedom of religion. In short, a wide range of contemporary First Amendment law issues are covered in the book.

The material covers in freestanding form all the chapters and materials relating to the First Amendment from Sullivan and Gunther's Constitutional Law, Seventeenth Edition. Highlights of the new edition include the Supreme Court's latest word on such contemporary First Amendment problems as restricting corporate expenditures in political campaigns and placing religious symbols on public property.

Students using this casebook will be well-equipped to litigate any area of First Amendment law.

This new casebook rests on a straightforward premise: The First Amendment can be viewed as history, as policy, and as theory, but from a lawyer's... perspective, it is above all law--albeit a special kind of law. One thing that is special is that the governing texts have receded into the background. The law is the cases, and the cases are the law. Close analysis of precedent is therefore the principal tool of argumentation and adjudication. The purpose of this casebook is to help students to learn the law in a way that will enable them to use it in the service of clients. Several features of the book promote this goal. The cases are edited with a relatively light hand. Notes and questions provide guidance in working with the opinions. The structure of the book--closely tracking the structure that the Supreme Court has imposed--helps to reinforce learning. Non-case materials (including drafts and memoranda from the Justices' private papers) are used to shed light on what was established by existing precedents and how a new decision changes (or does not change) the law. By giving primacy to the Justices' won words and the Court's own doctrinal structure, the book offers maximum flexibility for teachers to place their own imprint on the course.The accompanying Teacher's Manual offers extensive guidance for taking advantage of the breadth--and depth--of coverage offered by the casebook. The authors have included three different sample syllabi. The running commentary fully analyzes the cases and suggests possible directions for class discussion. The authors also provide answers to the questions that appear in the notes and identify the origins and sources for the Problems.
