A quick definition of marketplace of ideas:

A marketplace of ideas is a place where people can share their opinions freely without the government stopping them. It's like a big store where different ideas are on display, and people can choose which ones they like best. This idea was first talked about by a judge named Oliver Wendell Holmes, and it's been used in American law since 1954.

A more thorough explanation:

A marketplace of ideas is a space where people can express their opinions freely without any government restrictions. This concept was first introduced by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes as a metaphor to explain the freedom of speech. The phrase "marketplace of ideas" was officially used in American caselaw in 1954.

One example of a marketplace of ideas is social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. People can share their opinions on various topics and engage in discussions with others. Another example is a public debate where people can present their arguments and counterarguments on a particular issue.

These examples illustrate the concept of a marketplace of ideas because they provide a platform for people to express their opinions freely and engage in discussions with others. In a marketplace of ideas, people can freely compete for acceptance without any government restrictions.

ty!! i got $$.5 so it was a no brainer
@LawOfAchilles: i think, if the CoA is similar, it depends maybe on where you want to practice? If you want to end up practicing in Omaha, maybe Iowa is better?

esp with the scholarship!!
I don't really know where I want to end up practicing yet, but I've enjoyed living in the midwest so far. I think I might ultimately like to end up as in-house corporate for the work life balance.

I lived in Bloomington for a long time, can't speak to the law school but can answer Qs about the city if you'd like
@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: How do you think it is to live in as a 20-something going to grad school? The comparison is Iowa city, so not an extremely high bar for liveliness. (No offense intended towards IC. I think it's a lovely place)

If you're outdoorsy, it's nice--obv no coasts or mountains, but two small lakes really close, lots of places you can go on a lowkey hike or camp without paying park fees or anything really

@LawOfAchilles: if you like the outdoors, you're gonna love bloomington.
both uiowa and iu have a good reputation, especially with midwestern law firms. their alumni resources are pretty top notch too.
