Request: Barest Bones list of Recommended 1st Am. Cases touseforFlyby 1st Am. section in Intro con law 2 Individual Rights Course

[Jonathan Entin]

As the person who suggested New York Times v. Sullivan, could I bring us
back to Yvette Barksdale's initial inquiry? Yvette asked for a short list of
First Amendment cases to use in an introductory survey course on
Constitutional Law. There are all sorts of complexities to many cases,
including Sullivan. I can't imagine getting into all of them in a brief
survey course. That's why we have advanced courses. I continue to believe
that Sullivan gets to the heart of First Amendment theory in a historically
gripping factual context but respect the views of others who might regard
this case as more problematic pedagogically than I do.
