The Emory Law Journal is pleased to present the 2015 Randolph W. Thrower Symposium: "The New Age of Communication: Freedom of Speech in the 21st Century." Broadly speaking, the symposium will explore the changing doctrine of free speech in the United States. The Supreme Court has been actively shaping speech rights through decisions such as McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, Snyder v. Phelps, and United States v. Alvarez. These new opinions and approaches create an occasion for stimulating dialogue on the foundations, current doctrines, and future of free speech. The 2015 Thrower Symposium was developed with Professor Alexander Tsesis of Loyola University Chicago School of Law.
