He also has co-written a casebook on Constitutional law as well as numerous articles on freedom of the press and speech, freedom of religion, academic freedom, the constitutionality of police use of secret agents and informants, the privilege against self-incrimination, the Supreme Court, and the FBI.

In addition, Professor Stone, with David Strauss and Dennis Hutchinson, is the editor of the Supreme Court Review. His publications include the forthcoming Free Speech in Wartime and Eternally Vigilant: Free Speech in the Modern Era (2001). He is also the co-author of The Bill of Rights in the Modern State (1992) and The First Amendment (1998). From 2000 to 2002, Professor Stone served on a National Research Council commission that considered the question of pornography on the Internet. The final report, published in 2002 by the National Academy Press, was entitled Youth, Pornography and the Internet.
