What is the Best Justification for Free Speech?

A Conversation with Professor Robert Post

In this episode, I spoke with Robert Post, Sterling Professor of Law at Yale Law School. Professor Post holds an A.B. from Harvard College, a J.D. from Yale Law School, and a Ph.D. in History of American Civilization from Harvard University. Professor Post is a leading expert on First Amendment law and has written extensively on the theory of free speech. We discussed the problems with the prevailing theories of free speech, Professor Post's justification for protecting free speech, and the Supreme Court's recent First Amendment case, City of Austin v. Reagan National Advertising.
