Catherine Ross

Catherine Ross, the Lyle T. Alverson Professor of Law, specializes in constitutional law with particular emphasis on the First Amendment and family law. Her book, “A Right to Lie? Presidents, Other Liars, and the First Amendment” addresses the urgent issue of whether the nation's highest officers, including the president, have a right to lie under the speech clause and whether freedom of expression protects even factual falsehoods.
