Description

With anti-war protests raging on college campuses throughout the country, the time is right to revisit some of the epic legal battles that were fought over the First Amendment’s guarantees of freedom of speech, press and religion during the Vietnam War era. In the latest installment of “The Curious Lawyer” series, Peter Afrasiabi reviews landmark Supreme Court decisions in cases involving draft card and flag burning and other anti-war messaging, publication of the Pentagon Papers, conscientious objectors to the draft and claims that the war itself was illegal.
