Martin H. Redish is the Louis and Harriet Ancel Professor of Law and Public Policy at the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law.[2] Redish has written 19 books and over a hundred law review articles in the areas of civil procedure and constitutional law, among others.[3][4] He is among the most frequently cited American legal scholars.[5][6]

Legal theories[edit]

First Amendment[edit]

Redish supports an "autonomy theory" of free speech, taking the view that the First Amendment protects speech in order to advance individuals' interest in the self-realization that they obtain by being able to speak without government interference.[7][8][9] According to Redish, all of the other values attached to free speech, such as the advancement of liberal democracy, necessarily depend on the concept of individual self-realization.[10] This view contrasts with that of scholars such as Alexander Meiklejohn, who advocate a theory of the First Amendment based on the importance of democratic self-governance, and of scholars who subscribe to the theory that the First Amendment exists to promote the marketplace of ideas.[8]

Career[edit]

Redish has spent his entire academic career at Northwestern University, where he has been a faculty member since 1973.[3][2][1] Before entering academia, he briefly practiced law in New York.[11] Redish received a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Pennsylvania and a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School.[9]
