One year later, he published the two-volume treatise that would become the leading secondary source on copyright law, ''Nimmer on Copyright''. In 1984, he published a one-volume treatise on freedom of speech, titled appropriately ''Nimmer on Freedom of Speech: Treatise on Theory of First Amendment''. As a lawyer, he was best known as the winning attorney in the 1971 case Cohen v. California.〔''Cohen v. California'', 403 U.S. 15 (1971).〕 In ''Cohen'', the Supreme Court of the United States, by a 5-4 vote in an opinion written by Justice Harlan, held that a state cannot criminalize speech absent a "particularized and compelling reason." The Court struck down the conviction of a 19-year-old man who had walked into the Los Angeles courthouse with a shirt reading "Fuck the Draft." ''Cohen'' became one of the leading cases interpreting the First Amendment to the United States Constitution protection of freedom of speech. Melville Nimmer is the father of David Nimmer, himself a legal academic, who has made some revisions to the original version of ''Nimmer on Copyright''. ==References==
