Reviews for Judging Free Speech: First Amendment Jurisprudence of US Supreme Court Justices

“A concise, thoughtful and illuminating volume of essays on nine select members of the Supreme Court (past and present), highlighting each justice’s distinctive approach to the freedom of expression. … Judging Free Speech would make an excellent supplement to a course on the First Amendment or judicial decision making. … many scholars may find pieces in this volume useful for their own research. My judgment: Judging Free Speech is highly recommended.” (Wayne Batchis, Law and Politics Book Review, lpbr.net, Vol. 26 (3), July, 2016) “Knowles (political science, SUNY Oswego) and Lichtman (political science, Shippensburg) have coedited a delightful work in which the chapter authors take a justice of the Supreme Court and analyze in detail his or her opinions and jurisprudence on the issue of First Amendment free speech. … this work is for anyone with an interest in the courts, the First Amendment, free speech, or any of the nine justices covered. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (M. W. Bowers, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
