Managed Speech is a creative, original, and incisive exploration of how the Roberts Court has navigated the complex landscape of modern free speech law, comparing and contrasting rulings in such arenas as various and different as private speech, government funded speech, and speech in government preserves. * Rodney A. Smolla, Dean & Professor of Law, Delaware Law School, Widener University * In this powerful book, Gregory Magarian explores and critiques a central element of the Roberts Court's constitutional jurisprudence: its frequent and significant engagement with the First Amendment. Contrasting the Roberts Courts 'managed speech' approach with a compelling alternative he calls 'dynamic diversity', Magarian simultaneously explains and unsettles contemporary free speech doctrine. Managed Speech should be a standard reference for anyone seeking to understand or evaluate the modern First Amendment. * Joseph Blocher, Professor of Law, Duke Law School * Professor Magarian provides a terrific discussion of the freedom of speech decisions of the first decade of the John Roberts Court. This beautifully written, nuanced book shows how the Court in recent years has expanded some protections for expression, but restricted others. Professor Magarian uses his discussion of these cases to advance a new theory of freedom of speech - dynamic diversity - which could provide for more robust protection of speech in the years ahead. The book manages to be thorough and descriptive while also being wonderfully critical and prescriptive. * Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean, Distinguished Professor of Law, and Raymond Pryke Professor of First Amendment Law, University of California, Irvine School of Law * Gregory Magarian accomplishes a rare feat by providing a valuable new framework and vocabulary for understanding the Supreme Court's recent First Amendment decisions. This volume offers a heartening glimpse of a future where speech protections embrace a diversity of voices and foster the dynamic change that is the lifeblood of a healthy, modern democracy. Powerful and deftly argued, Managed Speech is both a commentary on the current political moment and a roadmap for reinvigorating the First Amendment. * Lee C. Bollinger, President and Seth Low Professor of the University, Columbia University *
