The Irish American Bar Association of New York held its sixth annual Bloomsday celebration at NYU’s Glucksman Ireland House Tuesday to recognize James Joyce’s masterwork “Ulysses,” which influenced First Amendment jurisprudence.
Lynn Oberlander, center, general counsel at First Look Media, gave the keynote address entitled “Free Speech in the Age of Terrorism, Again”. It was followed by a re-enactment of the 1921 obscenity trial of Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap, publishers of the The Little Review, which published Ulysses in serialized form.
