The New York Court of Appeals is hosting a lecture series, cosponsored by 
The Historical Society of the Courts of the State of New York.  Kermit 
Hall, President of the State University at Albany, a constitutional 
historian and the author/editor of many works on the subject, will give 
the first lecture. He will focus on the 1960s case,  NY Times v Sullivan 
(which was the subject of the Anthony Lewis book, "Make No Law").  The 
case involved the First Amendment right to free speech and libel judgments 
that had the potential to stifle criticism of public officials.
