Recenzje

Niehoff and Sullivan's review of First Amendment law has many strengths: clarity and readability, an embrace of free speech values that does not slight opposing interests, and an important insight into the role of due process concerns in shaping judicial doctrine. Students, general readers, and scholars will all find the book valuable. Dan Farber, Sho Sato Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley
