The Trials of Lenny Bruce (10th Anniverary Edition)

The Fall and Rise of an American Icon

by David M. Skover, Ronald K. L. Collins ...

The Story of the Outraged & Outrageous Lives That Launched a Cultural Revolution

by David M. Skover, Ronald K. L. Collins ...

By the time Lucien Carr stabbed David Kammerer to death on the banks of the Hudson River in August 1944, it was clear that the hard-partying teenage companion to Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, and William S. Burroughs might need to reevaluate his life. A two-year stint in a reformatory straightened out the wayward youth but did little to curb the wild ways of his friends.Mania tells ... Read more

The McCutcheon Decision, Campaign Finance Laws, and the First Amendment

by David M. Skover, Ronald K. L. Collins ...

On April 2, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down aggregate limits on how much money individuals could contribute to political candidates, parties, and committees. The McCutcheon v. FEC decision fundamentally changes how people (and corporations, thanks to Citizens United) can fund campaigns, opening the floodgates for millions of dollars in new spending, which had been curtailed by campaign ...

26 Machiavellian Lessons

by Ronald K.L. Collins, David M. Skover ...

There is no book of political strategy more canonical than Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince, but few ethicists would advise policymakers to treat it as a bible. The lofty ideals of the law, especially, seem distant from the values that the word "Machiavellian" connotes, and judges are supposed to work above the realm of politics. In The Judge, however, Ronald Collins and David Skover argue that ... Read more

The Death Of Discourse

by Ronald K L Collins, David M Skover ...

In this innovative book, the authors persuasively argue that the First Amendment to the Constitution has risen in the late twentieth century, like an ill guided individual with knife in hand, to murder a longstanding tradition of fine and meaningful discourse in the United States. We are bombarded with the cacophony of advertisement, the luridity of pornography, and the pointlessness of prime ... Read more

Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s name does not appear in any First Amendment treatise or casebook. And yet when the best-selling poet and proprietor of City Lights Books was indicted under California law for publishing and selling Allen Ginsberg’s poem, Howl, Ferglinghetti buttressed the tradition of dissident expression and ended an era when minds were still closed, candid literature still taboo, and when ...

Speech Rights and Artificial Intelligence

Its Meaning in America

by Ronald K. L. Collins, David M. Skover ...

America values dissent. It tolerates, encourages and protects it. But what is this thing we value? That is a question never asked. 'Dissent' is treated as a known fact. For all that has been said about it - in books, articles, judicial opinions, and popular culture - it is remarkable that no one has devoted much, if any, ink to explaining what dissent is. No one has attempted to sketch its ... Read more

Justice and Injustice in Law and Legal Theory

Edited by Austin Sarat, Thomas R. Kearns ...

Series series The Amherst Series In Law, Jurisprudence, And Social Thought
Running through the history of jurisprudence and legal theory is a recurring concern about the connections between law and justice and about the ways law is implicated in injustice. In earlier times law and justice were viewed as virtually synonymous. Experience, however, has taught us that, in fact, injustice may be supported by law. Nonetheless, the belief remains that justice is the special ... Read more

Critical Race Theory, Assaultive Speech, And The First Amendment

by Mari J Matsuda, Charles R. Lawrence Iii, Richard Delgado, Kimberle Williams Crenshaw ...

In this book, the authors, all legal scholars from the tradition of critical race theory start from the experience of injury from racist hate speech and develop a theory of the first amendment that recognizes such injuries.
