Books by Anthony Gray

This book considers the application of free speech principles in controversial contexts like the speech of public sector employees, hate speech, free speech in a university setting, and online speech.

Using several common law jurisdictions, including the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Europe, this book examines various rationales for freedom of speech and the extent to which the law protects it, the important similarities and differences in jurisprudence, and what these systems can learn from each other.

This book considers how legislatures have undermined the presumption of innocence and how courts have largely accepted it. It argues criminal law needs to return to notions of moral comfort as the basis for determining whether a person is guilty, and only impose criminal sanctions when there is sufficient, moral blame.
