> I have recently spoken with David Orgon Coolidge, of the Ethics & Public

> and religion programs, and is trying to identify the full range of programs
> based in law schools.
> He is doing this as a consultant for the Religion Program of Pew Charitable
> Trusts.
> He has asked me, as head of the AALS Law & Religion Section, to do an
> informal poll.  He's spoken to some of you already, but doesn't want to
> leave anybody out.
>
> The question is:  which law schools have any or all of the following:
>
> (1) organized Law & Religion programs - if so, do they
focus on church-state
> issues        (practically or theoretically) or do they define themselves more
> broadly,
> (2) joint degrees (with divinity or religion programs),
> (3) special lectureships, and/or
> (4) special publications projects (past, present or coming soon).
>
> BTW, Dave recently found an article by Derek H. Davis and Robert H. Haener,
> III, "An Examination of Church-State Curriculum in American Higher
> Education," 38 J of Ch and State 155 (1996), and recommends it to any who
> may not have seen it.

> Dave would appreciate a response this week, if possible.  Feel free to
