Fireside Chat with Nadine Strossen

Free speech champion and icon Nadine Strossen joins Erik Jaffe for a virtual “fireside” chat spanning a variety of free speech topics, including: the perpetual and inevitable conflict between process- and outcome-oriented approaches to free speech cases (i.e., whether to defend the speech or speaker you hate); how does a lawyer or public interest group decide whether to take a case raising such a conflict; does more speech always solve the problems of bad speech; how much risk or harm should be tolerated before it is acceptable to restrict speech; the prospective conflict between freedom and equality if speech is claimed to create a hostile environment on campus or in the workplace; balancing private versus public power questions in the free speech and other contexts; how the ACLU has grappled with such issues; and are there areas of or approaches to the First Amendment that might have bipartisan appeal.Featuring:Nadine Strossen, John Marshall Harlan II Professor of Law, Emerita, New York Law SchoolModerator: Erik Jaffe, Partner, Schaerr Jaffe LLP---To join, click the link above.
