Interview with Professor Morrison on the Right to Assembly

Today, we are joined by Professor Steven Morrison, a Visiting Professor of Law at New England Law | Boston, to discuss his two latest pieces of scholarship. The first entitled “Brandenburg for Groups,” which seeks to recover the right to assembly as a core First Amendment right and proposes a test that would protect group activity. The second is entitled “The Membership Crime Origin of the Frist Amendment” and provides a historical overview of the World War 1 era during which time the First Amendment protected the right to assembly the same as it protected speech.
