Second printing. Softcover. Rutgers Professor and General Counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) describes milestones in his career, from his time on the streets, to later in the courts fighting anti-democratic policies and government abuse of individual rights. He writes of his legal challenges to surveillance practices of the US Army, CIA, and FBI, and how civil liberties lawyers work to make police agencies honor constitutional prohibitions against unreasonable search and seizure. Askin provides insight into how constitutional protections for free speech protect the rights of grass roots organizations and small businesses, and the ongoing battle between branches in matters of national security.
