Synopsis

In Speaking Freely, Floyd Abrams shares some of the major cases of his career - landmark trials and Supreme Court arguments that have involved key First Amendment protections. His cause has placed him at the center of many memorable legal battles, including the famous Pentagon Papers case, New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's attempt to shut down the Brooklyn Museum, and most recently, the constitutional challenge to the controversial McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform legislation. With adversaries as diverse as Richard Nixon and Wayne Newton and allies as unlikely as Kenneth Starr, Abrams takes readers behind the scenes to explain his strategies, the ramifications of each decision and their long-term significance, presenting a clear look at the law in action.
