The First Amendment is the constitutional guarantee that makes all others possible. When government silences political speech, it eliminates the mechanism through which citizens can resist all other violations. When it coerces religious practice, it attacks the deepest convictions of human identity. When it muzzles the press, it extinguishes the watchdog without which official misconduct thrives unchecked. And when it punishes mere dissent — the expression of views the powerful find uncomfortable — it betrays the fundamental promise of a free republic.
The First Amendment Warrior: The Complete Guide to Free Speech, Religious Liberty, Press Freedom, and the Right to Dissent is Volume X of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series — the complete practitioner's guide to the full First Amendment landscape for advocates who fight for freedom of speech, religion, and press.
Wayne Richard Evangelista delivers complete doctrinal coverage of: free speech doctrine from Schenck to Brandenburg to United States v. Alvarez; the content-based/content-neutral distinction and its critical role in scrutiny analysis; the public forum doctrine and its application to government property, digital platforms, and university campuses; true threats and incitement doctrine; commercial and compelled speech; the Establishment Clause from Lemon to Kennedy v. Bremerton; the Free Exercise Clause from Employment Division v. Smith through Fulton to 303 Creative; RFRA practice; the ministerial exception; the reporter's privilege under Branzburg and shield law supplements; and the intersection of the First Amendment with defamation, privacy, and anti-discrimination law.
For every lawyer who defends the freedoms that make a free society possible, this is the essential reference.
