Reviews

Dilemmas of Free Expression provides a timely overview of the major academic debates on the definition and scope of freedom of expression, and a provocative tour of the challenges of applying the concept online, on campus, in the streets, and beyond. - Michael Pal, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa Dilemmas of Free Expression is an exceptional anthology, which makes a major contribution to the field. It is a 'must read' not only for constitutional lawyers, legal scholars, and judges, but also anyone interested in how Canada should address freedom of expression as a foundational civil liberty for our democracy. - Kerri A. Froc, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of New Brunswick There is no political ground more hotly contested these days than freedom of expression. What is badly needed at this point in the debates is less heat and more light. This volume does an admirable job of supplying that antidote. It is must-reading for anyone committed to thinking through the complex issues at stake. - Wayne Sumner, University Professor Emeritus, Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto
