Independent radio producer, Barrett Golding did a superb job summarizing landmark Supreme Court decisions into 60-second spots suitable for radio broadcasting or as an adjunct to classroom or other live presentations on civil liberties. ACLU of Montana received national acclaim from the American Bar Association in 2000 for exemplary radio work.
