Talk: The Chilling Effect and the Heating Effect

 Abstract: Chilling Effects occur when a restriction on speech deters lawful speech, because of people’s uncertainty about the risks of incurring costs related to the restriction. I propose that, contrary to an orthodox account of this phenomenon, individual-level deterrence of speech sometimes intensifies discourse, at the group-level, rather than suppressing or subduing it. The deterrence of lawful speech may, somewhat counterintuitively, trigger a Heating Effect. This hypothesis offers us a promising (partial) explanation of the relentlessness of public debate on topics for which there is, simultaneously, evidence of people self-censoring, for fear of running afoul of speech restrictions. It also helps to identify and rectify two shortcomings in existing theoretical accounts of the Chilling Effect – in how they (i) explain the relation between individual- and group-level discursive phenomena, and (ii) characterize the distinctive objectionability of inadvertent speech deterrence.

Wed 18 January 7-8pm – A Chambers’ Panel Event on ‘Obtaining Pupillage - How I did it.’

An on-line panel of London based practising Barristers will walk you through the Pupillage application process. Come hear their tips on what makes an application stand out to the Pupillage Selection Committee, and how you can tailor yours to the sets that you are applying to. Participating Chambers include 6 Pump Court, 9BR (formerly 9 Bedford Row) and 2 Dr Johnson’s Buildings. (Please note this can change depending on Barristers’ court hearings on the day). The barristers are young, friendly and keen to answer your questions.

This this will be the last Pupillage Advice Workshop before the Pupillage Gateway closes. Book here now.
