For over 20 years, the nonprofit Student Press Law Center has provided free legal help to student journalists across the country. Their legal staff knows the answers to the questions the student media ask the most. The Law of the Student Press is the only comprehensive resource available that addresses the unique legal problems faced by student publication staffs and their advisers.
What They're Saying About Law of the Student Press, 2nd. edition:
"Law of the Student Press is a crucially important book for the present - and the future." - Nat Hentoff Author and nationally syndicated columnist New York, NY
"The book is comprehensive and excellent....For all those involved or interested in student press issues - student journalists, advisers, school administrators, teachers, lawyers, scholars, and concerned citizens - this book is indispensable." - Elliot M. Mincberg Executive Vice President and Legal Director People for the American Way Washington, DC
"The new Law of the Student Press is a must for publications advisers and their staffs. In this post-Hazelwood era, the only way students can protect their free expression rights is to know clearly what they are, and this new edition does just that. The SPLC is once again invaluable to anyone involved with the scholastic press." - Candace Perkins President, Journalism Education Association Washington, DC
"I just finished teaching a unit on Rights and Responsibilities to my Beginning Journalism Class. How I wish I had had a copy of the book beforehand. It will be an invaluable resource in the future. The book is a must...." - H.L. Hall 1982 Dow Jones National High School Journalism Teacher of the Year Kirkwood High School, Kirkwood, MO

"The Student Press Law Center has turned on the bright lights of today's legal understanding for high school and college student publications advisers and student staff members with its second edition of Law of the Student Press....The writing style has avoided the legalistic morass of many press law books so that students can read it with understanding. The content is thorough and superbly reliable." - Louis E. Ingelhart Professor Emeritus of Journalism and Director Emeritus of Student Publications Ball State University, Muncie, IN
"Had such a publication existed when I was a student journalist it would have kept me (1) informed on matters I needed to know and (2) out of a hell of a lot of trouble." - John Seigenthaler Chairman The Freedom Forum First Amendment Center Nashville, TN
