Communication Law Review

On April 7, 1983, Florida State University Professor Dr. Phifer appointed Dr. Stephen A. Smith of the University of Arkansas to develop a publication to address current free expression issues and events. 

Dr. Smith envisioned a publication that would include articles, book reviews, updates on local and national court cases/legislation, and other legal and extralegal actions. He believed the publication should be free and available to all. In 2004, he charged Dr Dewberry with reviving the journal online.
