More DescriptionThis volume offers a wealth of information on the historical and contemporary aspects of free speech, while meeting the academic demand for reliable information tied to law and social sciences. Four major court cases that shaped our experience of free speech are examined. Readers will learn about majority and dissenting opinions on each case. Legal experts, such as attorneys or judges, share essays and articles that explain the long-term impact of each ruling. The first case concerns upholding non-disruptive free speech in schools. Denying free speech in official school publications is the second case. The third case deals with Internet pornography bans. The last case covers whether schools may suppress student speech that advocates use of illegal drugs.
