Episode 2: Jim Kerwin & Free Speech

We know that liberty must be defended in the courtroom, and in the culture. That’s why we’re excited to share a brand-new episode of Beyond the Bench, featuring our own Senior Counsel and First Amendment Attorney, Jim Kerwin. In this conversation, Jim takes you behind the scenes of two pivotal cases: Young America’s Foundation v. UCLA — a fight to protect student expression on campus. Danielle Johnson v. Oregon Department of Environmental Quality — a stand against government retaliation when citizens speak out. Both cases underscore a timeless truth: the First Amendment exists to protect speech that challenges authority. These battles are about more than individual lawsuits, they are about preserving the freedoms that define America.
