ABA's Communications Lawyer Reviews My Book

The Communications Lawyer, published by the American Bar Association's Forum on Communications Law, has published a review of my book, Reckless Disregard: St. Amant v. Thompson and the Transformation of Libel Law. Thanks to Cynthia Counts for writing it.

Here's a highlight:

Robinson has provided a full and complete account of this most important case that played so prominently in the post-Sullivan evolution of libel law. This isn’t just important reading for media law scholars, history buffs, or practicing attorneys.It is required reading.

The review is available here.

I'm speaking at LSU on Nov. 13

On November 13, the Reilly Center will host Dr. Eric P. Robinson, an Assistant Professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of South Carolina. Dr. Robinson’s book, Reckless Disregard: St. Amant v. Thompson and the Transformation of Libel Law, examines the case that began with a political campaign ad in Louisiana and ended up changing American libel law forever. Dr. Robinson will moderate a panel of media law and political strategy authorities to discuss the effect of libel law on media operations and coverage of political campaigns as well as the implications of the St. Amant case locally and statewide.
