2016 Rna Annual Conference

From the Free Exercise Clause to Zubik v. Burwell, questions about how religious rights fit into the legal framework have kept U.S. courts busy since the country’s founding. How did carving out a space for religious accommodation under the law become deafening calls for amnesty? What religious liberty cases currently traveling through the court system should we be keeping our eyes on? Moderator: Tim Townsend, Freelance. Speakers: Sarah Barringer Gordon, Arlin M Adams Professor of Constitutional Law & Professor of History, University of Pennsylvania; Marie Griffith, Director, John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University; Douglas Laycock, Professor of Law and Religious Studies, University of Virginia Law School.
