Description
First Amendment Law in Louisiana chronicles the First Amendment's robust career in Louisiana, which has a legal tradition unlike that of any other state. Louisiana's legal heritage derives from both continental law and common law, which gives its body of laws a hybrid vigor that serves as a better model for understanding freedom of expression in politics and business around the world. Although First Amendment Law in Louisiana was chiefly written for a college student readership, practicing attorneys and the general public will find this book's chapters invaluable to understanding the legal principles and precedents behind many of the issues of the day.
