Welcome to Free Speech Out Loud!
Free Speech Out Loud
Free Speech Out Loud is a reading series from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) dedicated to increasing accessibility to free speech jurisprudence and related materials. Free Speech Out Loud will be releasing audio recordings of famous First Amendment court opinions and other primary documents which serve as the backbone of the free speech rights we enjoy today. We hope that these recordings will be useful for lawyers looking to refresh their knowledge, law students on the go, and other individuals looking to educate themselves using an audio medium.
