Book Description
Excerpt from The Law of Libel: As Affecting Newspapers and Journalists IN the early summer of the present year, the author was invited by the Faculty of Laws of the University of London to deliver a course of five lectures on the law of libel at the Institute of Journalists. By the kind permission of the University, he has been allowed to publish these lectures. Inasmuch as they were prepared for practical men, it is hoped that their reproduction will be of value in the office of every newspaper. The fact that the text was the subject of oral delivery to a lay audience may serve to account for a certain freedom of expression, and for certain fanciful illustrations which are not usually found in a law book. Special care has been taken to make the index as complete and exhaustive as possible. A part of the work is devoted to the metes and bounds of Criticism, the art of Law Reporting, and to the rules which should be observed by him who reports the proceedings of public meetings. Certain suggested reforms of the law of libel as it affects newspapers are dealt with at pp. 125-428. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
A crucial and compelling account of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, the landmark Supreme Court case that redefined libel, from the Pulitzer Prize–winning legal journalist Anthony Lewis. The First Amendment puts it this way: "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." Yet, in 1960, a city official in Montgomery, Alabama, sued The New York Times for libel—and was awarded $500,000 by a local jury—because the paper had published an ad critical of Montgomery's brutal response to civil rights protests. The centuries of legal precedent behind the Sullivan case and the U.S. Supreme Court's historic reversal of the original verdict are expertly chronicled in this gripping and wonderfully readable book by the Pulitzer Prize Pulitzer Prize–winning legal journalist Anthony Lewis. It is our best account yet of a case that redefined what newspapers—and ordinary citizens—can print or say.
