‘Free Speech Out Loud’ and abridged citations

Research & Learn

Due to changes in citation styles over the years and for ease of listening, we have abridged some citations and removed string citations.

Longer quotes are offset by the reader stating “quote” at the beginning and “end quote” at the end. Shorter quotes are not denoted and may not include their case citation.

FIRE may make other editorial decisions regarding citations to streamline the text and may remove citations which do not substantively add to the listening experience, but we are dedicated to maintaining the spirit of each decision.

For the full text of each opinion, visit the First Amendment Library link listed at the end of each episode's show notes.

Visit the home page of "Free Speech Out Loud" for a full list of available recordings.
