Subjects:

• Law » Constitutional Law
• Communications » Communications Law

Reviews:

• ...a concise, easily accessible legal reference on the Supreme Court's fair trial/free press decisions....The real value of the work, however, is the way a condensed reading of the leading cases can illuminate what may in fact be so obvious as to be overlooked.

• The careful and detailed treatment of 30 cases, especially the less well-known historical cases, makes this book a useful resource for any journalism library or journalism professor. It also could serve as a text for a graduate history or law seminar about the issues of free press and fair trial. Portions of the book could supplement a communications law class or help students on research papers.
