LAW 2933 - Religion and the Constitution
This course examines the U.S. Constitution’s attempt to structure the relationship between religion and public life. Readings and discussion center on various proposed and prevailing interpretations of the First Amendment’s religion clauses, including how these affect education, public property and, more generally, government treatment of religious believers. Cases cover a wide range of topics such as school prayer, vouchers, holiday decorations, use of public property by religious groups, ritual sacrifice, ritual drug use, tax exemptions and more. Students write a series of short papers based on assigned readings, which may satisfy Writing Requirement II.
