Ep. 47 Institute for Justice President and General Counsel Scott Bullock

The Institute for Justice doesn’t litigate your typical First
Amendment cases.


They don’t take cases involving protest bans, controversial
speakers, or political dissent. Instead, the libertarian,
public-interest law firm takes cases often ascribed to the
margins of First Amendment concerns by the public and even some
judges: cases involving occupational speech, commercial speech,
and campaign finance.


On this episode of So to Speak, we speak with IJ President and
General Counsel Scott Bullock about the origin of IJ’s unique
brand of First Amendment litigation. Bullock joined the
organization at its founding in 1991 and was involved in all of
its early free speech cases. We also discuss some of IJ’s current
cases and some common arguments against its stances on First
Amendment issues.
