BOOKS, EDITED OR CO-EDITED

Judging Free Speech: First Amendment Jurisprudence of US Supreme Court Justices (co-edited with Helen J.

Knowles), Palgrave-Macmillan (2015)

Judging Free Speech contains nine original essays, each providing a comprehensive, yet concise and accessible overview of

the free speech jurisprudence of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Analyzing the First Amendment expressive freedom opinions

of justices from the 1920s through the 21st Century, the essays go beyond simply identifying and explaining key animating

themes that are particular to specific members of the Court. The different authors also demonstrate the way in which free

speech jurisprudence has evolved over time. The book is intended for use in undergraduate First Amendment and Civil

Liberties courses. It fills an important void in the literature that is currently dominated by casebooks and works telling the

stories of specific free speech decisions.

Featured justices (and their chroniclers) are: Oliver Wendell Holmes (Frederick Lewis, UMass-Lowell); George Sutherland

(Samuel Olken, John Marshall Law School); Hugo Black (Kevin McMahon, Trinity College; and Michael Paris, CUNY-Staten

Island); William Brennan (James Foster, Oregon State University); John Harlan, II (Douglas Edlin, Dickinson College); Potter

Stewart (Keith Bybee, Syracuse University); Anthony Kennedy (Helen Knowles, Skidmore College); Clarence Thomas (Steven

Lichtman, Shippensburg University); and Stephen Breyer (Mark Tushnet, Harvard University).
