Communications Law

This text provides a clear, accessible overview of the laws and regulations that shape how we communicate. Focusing on the U.S. Constitution—especially the First and Fourteenth Amendments—together with statutory law and federal and state case law, author Michael G. Walsh explores how legal principles intersect with technology, economics, politics, and culture. Topics range from hate speech and sedition to privacy rights, telecommunications, and the ever-evolving challenges of internet law.
