In his new book, titled Democracy, Expertise, Academic Freedom: a First Amendment Jurisprudence for the Modern State, Yale Law School Dean Robert C. Post ’77 shows that the familiar understanding of the First Amendment, which stresses the "marketplace of ideas" and which holds that "everyone is entitled to an opinion," is inadequate to create and preserve the expert knowledge that is necessary for a modern democracy to thrive.
This book discussion took place on February 7, 2012, at Yale Law School.
