SLAPPs cover

Examines what happens to the targets of Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) and what is happening to public participation in American politics. This book offers solutions for preventing, managing, and curing SLAPPs at various levels of government.The first book to explain, document, and offer solutions to SLAPPS, by the lawyers who identified the trend and lead the battle cry against it

"Anyone who treasures and uses the First Amendment will find this first ever book on the SLAPP suit epidemic a wake up call to careful civic action." -Ralph Nader "The power and limits of this book lie in its simplicity. In SLAPPs, Pring and Canan identify a problem, tell why it is serious, and offer a way to deal with it." -Law & Society Review
