Apr 11/Cleveland, OH - The Theology of Our Establishment Clause

Constitutional lawyers cannot ably proceed without a deep understanding of the foundations of the Establishment Clause, its internal tensions, and its relationship to the theory of our constitutional democracy. In his lecture, Prof. Shiffrin will seek to develop that understanding in a rich and accessible way.
