Free speech is indispensable on college campuses: allowing varied views and frank exchanges of opinion is a core component of the educational enterprise. But free speech does not mean a free-for-all. The First Amendment prohibits "abridging the freedom of speech," yet laws against perjury or bribery, for example, are still constitutional. In the same way, valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulating speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So where is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions from impermissible infringement?

Tout au long de la vie se nouent de multiples liens juridiques créateurs d'obligations diverses (achats les plus quotidiens, mariage, contrat de travail, etc.). Même la mort est soumise à de nombreuses règles de droit (sort du cadavre, respect dû à la mémoire des morts).
