Law School Hosts Conference on Religion and the Law March 7
Religion is arguably the most powerful social force in the world. As it inspires
liberating reform, it is used to justify violence and oppression. What is the
role of law in helping communities to negotiate religious difference in ways
that promote dialogue and tolerance?
A conference sponsored by the School of Law will address the question from
a variety of perspectives, bringing together a number of the most prominent
scholars. “Pluralism, Religion and the Law: A conversation at the intersection
of identity, faith, and legal reasoning,” will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on Friday, March 7, at the law school.
