About this listen

In this first of many upcoming explanations of famous American cases, Attorney Charles Schierer briefly discusses Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) and explains the very narrow incitement-to-violence exception to the First Amendment. In this important episode, Attorney Schierer touches on the three-part Brandenburg test: (1) speech that encourages lawless action, (2) intent to cause such action, and (3) imminence of resulting violence. The episode emphasizes why free speech protections are broad, why exceptions must remain narrow, and how robust and peaceful public debate allows society to resolve disagreements without resorting to violence. Charles Schierer is the managing partner at the law firm of Schierer & Ritchie, LLC in East Peoria, Illinois. Go to www.srtriallawyers.com for more information.
