Question from a reporter

[Douglas Laycock]

  I don't know.  But it would not be surprising.  The law that has
developed since Jones v. Wolf encourages lawyers and their clients to
take a shot.

  Quoting "Volokh, Eugene" VOLOKH at law.ucla.edu[1]: 

> A reporter asked me:  "Is it my imagination, or are denominations
and
> members increasingly turning to the courts to settle disputes. 
[I've
> seen]  current disputes within the Catholic, Episcopal, Missouri
> Lutheran faiths -- and there are doubtless more that I don't know
about.
> There are issues of personnel and property.   Does anyone track
such a
> thing, or has the issue been studied?"  I didn't have an answer,
but
> offered to ask on-list.  Any thoughts on this?  Thanks,
>
