Thanks to Prof. Joel Gora (Brooklyn Law School) for suggesting the title for the series, and to Prof. Mark Lemley (Stanford Law School) for letting us use his "if this were legal advice" joke.
Funding for this project was provided by the Stanton Foundation. The Stanton Foundation was created by Frank Stanton, legendary president of CBS and creator of the modern presidential debate.
Stanton was a fierce defender of the First Amendment and designated continued protection and advancement of First Amendment values as a primary mission of the Foundation. The Foundation has funded numerous First Amendment projects, including a First Amendment chair at Harvard Law School and ten First Amendment Clinics across the country.
