Abstract
Analyses and evaluates the right to freedom of speech in the US through a discussion of the Supreme Court Case of Glickman decided in 1997. Covers the detail and findings of the case and presents the Central Hudson test which is used to determine the State’s interest. Concludes that there must be a balance between rights and restrictions and that restrictions should be no more extensive than necessary to serve the interest of the government.
