Edited by Vile (political science, Middle Tennessee State U.), Hudson (First Amendment Center, Vanderbilt U.), and Schults (Institute of Law and Politics, U. of Minnesota School of Law), this is a two-volume encyclopedia, developed with college and university libraries in mind, that examines First Amendment cases and issues. Introductory essays address topics that include the religion clauses; freedom of speech and of the press; freedom of assembly, petition, and association; the application of the First Amendment to the states via Supreme Court decisions interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment; the influence of the First Amendment around the world; and the future of the First Amendment. Following are some 1400 alphabetically arranged entries discussing court decisions and doctrines, people, events, issues, organizations, concepts, legal terms, and methods of legal interpretation, among other topics. The cases examined relate to a wide range of issues, including, for example: abortion, academic freedom, adult entertainment, animal sacrifice, anonymous speech, artistic displays, attorney advertising, blacklists, blasphemy, broadcasting, campaign expenditure and finance, church property and governance, noise regulations, Native American religion, prisoners' rights, privacy, public employees, right to work laws, symbolic speech, trespassing and sit-ins, union regulations, the Vietnam War, and zoning.
