LS 320 - Religion and the Law 3 Credit Hours
In ancient societies, religion and law were nearly synonymous. The United States and other modern democracies, however, have erected (or tried to erect) what Thomas Jefferson called “a wall of separation between church and state.” This course will examine how religion and the law influence one another, how conflicts between law and religion arise, and how courts attempt to resolve those conflicts. Considerable attention will be paid to the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause and Establishment Clause. Required for the legal studies major.
