Title: Defamation, libel tourism and the SPEECH Act of 2010
Description: "In this first critical study of the Speech Act, Harry Melkonian not only examines the specifics and likely application of this legislation as well as the underlying phenomenon of libel tourism but also provides a radically new perspective on the incipient convergence of US First Amendment and English common law freedom of speech and defamation principles. Uniquely, the book approaches the concept of convergence from the viewpoint of both doctrinal law and free speech theory and amalgamates the results through application of the traditional law of comity among nations"--Publisher's website.
