- W3197990410 abstract "Freeing Speech contributes to the existing academic debate around the virtues and vices that the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, and specifically, to the much-discussed problem of judicial underenforcement of both federal FOIA and state to know law actions. Freeing Speech offers a new insight into this problem, which is that often courts simply do not see the First Amendment implications of these cases. This article coins the phrase speech, and argues that this First Amendment value undergirds the entire to know statutory scheme. Yet, this value remains hidden in these cases, as adjudicating a to know claim does not require a court to construe or apply the First Amendment. The piece argues that for courts to effectively adjudicate these requests, this must change.Freeing Speech is unique in part because it arose out of the author's practice experience. In July 2016, the author represented, pro bono, a journalist seeking public records regarding the funding of the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. A politically powerful group opposed the request. To order production over this group's objection, the court hearing the request would have needed to see the First Amendment implications of the entire Freedom of Information Act (or in this case, right to know) statutory scheme. The court did not see those implications, and thus Freeing Speech was born. Freeing Speech argues that, for courts to fully understand a statutory to know case, courts first situate that case in its proper constitutional context. The article argues that although Justice Brandeis recognized this constitutional value when he warned that public discussion of issues was a political duty, Whitney v. California, 274 U.S. 357, 376 (1927) (Brandeis, J., concurring), that value has since been overshadowed by the more familiar value of protecting speech. Freeing Speech seeks to bring the value of promoting speech out of the shadow of the First Amendment." @default.
