A significant revision of a classroom mainstay for the twenty-first century

Focusing on the issues of hate-speech and pornography, this book examines the efforts of reformers to oblige society and law to take account of such harms. It argues for a system of free speech which takes into account nuance, context-sensitivity, and competing values such as human dignity and equal protection of the law.

The professional discontent of lawyers in contemporary society is introduced via an account of the long friendship of Ezra Pound and Archibald MacLeish; then the authors suggest how critical legal theory might advance both legal thinking and the impoverished intellectual/ creative lives of lawyers.
