October Term 2008

[Friedman, Howard M.]

I think a good candidate is Navajo Nation v. US Forest Service-- an 8-3 en banc split by the 9th Circuit on the meaning of "substantial burden" under RFRA.  It was decided less than a month ago.  If you are interested, here is the link to my coverage of it on Religion Clause blog:

Apart from Summum (concerning the claim of a minority religious group to an "equal access" right to place its religious monument in a city park), are there other religion-related cases in the pipeline that are likely or possible candidates for cert. in the upcoming term?
