If you need it, here are some good websites that give easy to understand summaries of important Supreme Court cases. The American Library Association has a really good one with a section on free speech and censorship. It’s the first one on the list.
These are really good places to start research and get an idea what cases are important for you particular debate. Of course, there is also the photocopies on the 1st Amendment that we read in class.
