First Amendment Doctrine and the Burger Court
Emerson, Thomas
Emerson, Thomas
Abstract
In the decade since the Burger Court took over from the Warren Court there has been little change in the position that the system of freedom of expression occupies in our national life. Freedom of expression continues to be accepted as the core of our structure of individual rights. It remains the foundation of our efforts to obtain the proper balance between individual liberty and collective responsibility. And it still provides the framework within which our society tries to achieve necessary, nonviolent, social change.
