Description

What is “slavery,” what is “involuntary servitude” and where do courts draw the lines between forced labor, physical coercion and civic duties that sometimes require free labor? The answers lie in part on the meaning of the Thirteenth Amendment. In the latest installment of “The Curious Lawyer” series, Peter Afrasiabi takes a deep dive into this amendment, reminding us what it protects and illustrating its impact on the other constitutional protections we enjoy. Whether you are a budding constitutional scholar or simply looking for interesting facts to share at a cocktail party, this constitutional law series is for you.

Hate Speech
Everyone knows that the First Amendment safeguards freedom of speech from government intervention, but does that protection extend to speech that is hateful, offensive or incites violence? Peter Afrasiabi reviews the history of free speech protections in the United States — from famous cases involving flag burning, Nazi marches and anti-war protests — and carries it through to present day controversies including cyberstalkers who send messages threating violence and former President Donald Trump who made statements targeting protesters at a campaign rally.
