New book, "The Soul of the First Amendment" so timely

About Floyd Abrams

Floyd Abrams is an expert on constitutional law – and many arguments in the briefs he has written before the United States Supreme Court have been adopted as United States Constitutional interpretative law as it relates to the First Amendment and free speech. He is an attorney at Cahill Gordon & Reindel. He is the William J. Brennan Jr. Visiting Professor at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University. Abrams argued for The New York Times and Judith Miller in the CIA leak grand jury investigation. Abram’s appearance before the Supreme Court as an advocate of the First Amendment has put him in a class of prominent and still-working legal scholars who have shaped American understanding of their fundamental rights under the United States Constitution. His new book “The Soul of the First Amendment” could not be more timely.
