WVU/ACS Conference on "The Religion Clauses in the 21stCentury"

[Brad Pardee]

Sounds very interesting!  Do you know if any of this will be aired on C-SPAN 
or C-SPAN 2?  This does seem like the kind of thing they would show when 
they aren't broadcasting Congress.

I thought list members might be interested in the following conference to be 
held at WVU in April.

THE RELIGION CLAUSES IN THE 21ST CENTURY:  April 12-13, 2007
West Virginia University College of Law, Morgantown, West Virginia

Co-Sponsored by the West Virginia University College of Law
and the American Constitution Society for Law & Policy

OVERVIEW

This symposium brings together some of the nation's preeminent scholars of 
law and religion to discuss the future of the First Amendment's Religion 
Clauses.  Whether the issue is state-sponsored religious expression, 
taxpayer funding of faith-based social service programs, or the proper 
balance between religious freedom and the regulatory state, disputes about 
the proper interpretation of the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses 
continue to provoke public controversy and scholarly reexamination.  The 
last two decades have seen significant changes in the Supreme Court's 
interpretation of both Clauses, and now the U.S. Supreme Court led by new 
Chief Justice John Roberts is poised to put its own distinctive stamp on the 
law of church and state.

We hope you will be able to join us in April for what promises to be a 
rewarding discussion.
