Summary
  • "A First Amendment Profile of the Supreme Court focuses on the nine justices of the United States Supreme Court and reveals their ground for decision making in First Amendment cases. Each chapter profiles a justice in terms of his or her claims during the nomination hearings and positions taken in significant Supreme Court decisions. These chapters provide a rhetorical frame for legal categories of argument running from original intent through prudential to an evolving Constitution for the justices regarding First Amendment case law"--Provided by publisher.
  • "This book builds on Cicero's foundation by examining the Supreme Court of the United States in terms of how each justice determines his or her position in First Amendment cases. In addition, the profiles drawn in this study can help future Ciceros win their cases before the sitting Court"--Provided by publisher.
