Professor Ronald J. Krotoszynski Jr. is a faculty member at the University of Alabama School of Law, specializing in constitutional law, free speech, and comparative legal systems. His recent works include the monograph Free Speech as Civic Structure (Oxford University Press, 2024) and the edited volume Disinformation, Misinformation, and Democracy (Cambridge University Press, 2024). Both publications analyze the interplay between judicial systems, cultural norms, and the protection of democratic values through legal frameworks.
- Research Focus: Comparative constitutional law, judicial review of speech regulation, and challenges to democracy in the digital age.
- Key Contributions: Argues that judicial interpretation, not constitutional text, defines free speech protections; explores regulatory approaches to combat disinformation without suppressing political expression.
The book Free Speech as Civic Structure was nominated for the 2024 Book of the Year by the International Forum on the Future of Constitutionalism, recognizing its impact on constitutional studies. His scholarship emphasizes the role of courts in safeguarding expressive freedom against political self-interest, spanning jurisdictions like the U.S., Australia, Israel, and South Africa.
