Advertising and Commercial Speech: A First Amendment Guide

Front Cover
Practising Law Institute, 2004 - Law - 805 pages
Two of the nation's leading First Amendment experts offer you the first authoritative guide to the commercial speech doctrine. Advertising and Commercial Speech is the first book to detail the history of the evolving commercial speech doctrine and its application to all categories of advertising regulation. It focuses on nearly 30 major Supreme Court decisions since the 1970s and the many lower court rulings impacted by them. Building on the foundation laid by first edition authors P. Cameron DeVore and Robert D. Sack, authors Brody and Johnson provide new cases on the distinction between commercial and noncommercial speech; an expanded and reorganised chapter on defamation claims based on advertising; and a new chapter covering Lanham Act and misappropriation claims.
