MLRC INSTITUTE EVENTS:
The MLRC Institute created the First Amendment Speakers Bureau in 2005 to educate the general public about the importance of the First Amendment protections of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. With a network of speakers nationwide, it currently facilitates presentations on two topics: the reporter’s privilege, and publishing online.
