Cases in Communication Law
Paul Siegel
Originally intended as a companion book to the author's Communication Law in America, this case law book can comfortably stand on its own as a great read, and a great resource for anyone. This book covers 55 cases in all - 34 United States Supreme Court decisions, 13 federal appellate decisions, and 6 federal district court cases. The book also includes 2 state cases: 1 from the Supreme Court of Hawaii and the other from a lower court in New York. Several excerpts of court cases are included for each topic, rather than one long case per chapter, resulting in more meaningful, manageable selections.
