James Weinstein 
An essay by Professor James Weinstein and British human-rights attorney Ivan Hare, is included in the 20th anniversary edition of the Entertainment Law Review, published in Great Britain.

The essay, titled “Free Speech and Democracy,” is based on the introduction to their book, Extreme Speech and Democracy. The journal issue also contains a review of their book written by a professor at the London School of Economics, which calls the book "compendious, thoughtful, learned, and very well produced and laid out."  The reviewer also praises the book as the sort of work "that you feared the internet might have driven off our bookshelves."

Weinstein's areas of academic interest are Constitutional Law, especially Free Speech, as well as Jurisprudence, Federal Courts, Civil Procedure and Legal History. He has written numerous articles in law review symposia on a variety of free-speech topics, including: obscenity doctrine, institutional review boards, commercial speech, database protection, campaign finance reform, the relationship between free speech and other constitutional rights, hate crimes, and campus speech codes.
