What does Advocacy mean in American Law?
The definition of Advocacy in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:
The act of arguing in favor of, pleading for, supporting, seeking to bring about-but by verbal rather than physical or otherwise coercive means. On the other hand, expression is required, and mere passive belief or adherence is not “advocacy,” a matter of some importance with respect to statutes making “advocacy” of unlawful activity, e.g., overthrowing the government by force and violence, a crime.
