Abstract
What does it mean for ajudge's campaign speech to be impartial? More importantly, how far may a state go in regulating judicial campaign speech in order to ensure impartiality without violating the First Amendment? In this Debate, Professor Paul E. McGreal, of the Southern Illinois University School of Law, and Dean James J. Alfini, of the South Texas College of Law, explore the permissible limits on
judicial campaign speech in light of the Supreme Court's First Amendment campaign speech precedent.
