President Trump has been vocal about his disdain for the press, vowing to toughen libel laws and crack down on so-called fake news. But how far can he go in curtailing the freedom of the press? That is our topic this week on the legal-affairs podcast Lawyer 2 Lawyer.

Joining us to help flesh out this issue are two experts in First Amendment and media law:

  • David A. Schulz, partner with Levine Sullivan Koch & Schulz in New York, senior research scholar in law and Floyd Abrams clinical lecturer in Law at Yale Law School, and co-director of the Media Freedom and Information Access (MFIA) Clinic at Yale.
  • Howard Cooper, a founding partner with Todd & Weld in Boston who regularly handles significant civil rights and First Amendment matters, as well as libel cases on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants.

Special thanks to our sponsors, Clio and Litéra. Listen to the show above or at the Legal Talk Network. Never miss an episode by subscribing via the iTunes library or our RSS feed.
