He is the author of "Hamilton versus Jefferson in the Washington Administration: Completing the Founding or Betraying the Founding?" (Cambridge University Press, 2015). Learn about the nuances of the actual malice standard, a cornerstone principle that has governed defamation law in the United States since the landmark case New York Times vs. Sullivan in 1964. The talk explores not only the origins and subsequent development of this pivotal doctrine but also offers a profound reflection on its implications for freedom of the press and speech under the First Amendment.
