First Amendment Center

From site:  Welcome to the First Amendment Center’s Web site, featuring comprehensive research coverage of key First Amendment issues and topics, daily First Amendment news, commentary and analyses by respected legal specialists, and a First Amendment Library of legal cases and related materials.

The research materials on this site are organized by topic under the five freedoms of the First Amendment: speech, press, religious liberty, assembly and petition.

Within each topic you will generally find several subtopics. For example, if you are interested in student expression in the public schools, you’ll see an overview of that issue in general along with a number of important aspects — dress codes, student newspapers, yearbooks, clubs and more.

The information in the topics and subtopics is updated as needed. Topics will grow in number as news and legal developments warrant.

Keep in mind that many First Amendment issues overlap. To return to the example of public school free expression, you’ll find information about student religious expression in the religious-liberty section.
