Description and Table of Contents
Description
Each book in this series offers all the statutes, legal opinions, and studies a student needs to structure a cohesive argument on a given controversial topic. Issues are presented from multiple points of view; sidebars cite law and opinions to aid in critical analysis; paratextual questions encourage reader engagement; and all sources are fully documented and grouped by the side of the argument. Discusses limitations of free expression: Where is the line to be drawn between free expression and obscenity? How free should the press be to cover information that may benefit the public?
