In an area rife with with multi-factor tests  mastery of First Amendment theory and doctrine requires more than rote memorization of three and four part tests; it requires a firm foundation in the underlying theories and purposes that animate the Supreme Courts decisions. No less important  the casebook also includes Theory Applied Problems at the end of each major section. These Theory Applied Problems provide an easy and convenient means to assess students mastery of the relevant theories and precedents. Because the Supreme Courts First Amendment jurisprudence has been a work in progress for many decades  the editors present the cases and doctrinal developments in historical context  thereby showcasing the Supreme Courts evolving tests  standards  and approaches. The editors also have included carefully targeted coverage of how other constitutional democracies  such as Canada and Germany  have reached very different conclusions regarding the scope and meaning of expressive freedom. In an increasingly globalized marketplace of ideas  U.S. students need to have some appreciation of the idiosyncratic nature of U.S. free speech law and the degree to which the U.S.s highly speech-protective legal metrics have failed to gain widespread acceptance in the larger world.
