Legal Commentary

Thanks again to PrawfsBlawg for having me as a guest this month.  I'm on leave this academic year, and blogging was a welcome diversion from the research and writing grind. 

As readers may have noted, many of my posts related to the types of public speech and assembly conflicts that I discuss in my book, Speech Out of Doors.  In part because it seems to have become a common aspect of post-publication book marketing, but in larger measure because my interest in public speech and contention survives the publication of the book, I have started a blog devoted to speech out of doors.  The blog is less about shilling the book than chronicling (what remains of) our traditional public speech culture.  Others in the blogosphere provide excellent analysis of the doctrinal aspects of public speech and assembly cases.  The blog will reach beyond doctrine.  It will place public speech and assembly contests in social, political, and geographic perspectives.  I also plan to blog about public speech and contention that occurs in other countries, a topic that I did not address in the book.

With that, I'll take my leave.
