The California Consumer Privacy Act Of 2018: Are Your Interests At Stake?, Golden Gate University School Of Law
The California Consumer Privacy Act Of 2018: Are Your Interests At Stake?, Golden Gate University School Of Law
GGU Law Review Blog
In recent years, the Supreme Court has recognized the downturn of consistent and reliable Establishment Clause jurisprudence. The inconsistency of opinions and the often hostile outcomes have left the Establishment Clause in “shambles”. Justices have commented that there is no other area of law in more desperate need of repair than the Establishment Clause. One reason posited for the current state of confusion is that the Establishment Clause was never intended to be incorporated. Because of this, even the Supreme Court cannot agree on a single test or even consistently apply the many tests it currently employs.

In Headley, former ministers brought TVPA forced-labor claims against the Church of Scientology (the “Church”). The Church argued before the district court that the plaintiffs’ labor was not forced, and that the ministerial exception applied to effectively bar the plaintiffs’ claims. The district court agreed, holding that the instances of physical abuse alleged did not raise a triable issue of fact as to the Headleys’ forced-labor claims. The court also …

Church Of The Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. V. City Of Hialeah: A Reader's Companion To Contemporary Free Exercise Jurisprudence And The Right To Perform Ritual Animal Sacrifice, Rod M. Fliegel
Golden Gate University Law Review

The scope of this comment is thus appropriately limited to consideration of the fundamental free exercise questions presented by Hialeah. Although some review is obviously necessary, this comment is not intended as a comprehensive discussion of recent free exercise cases. Principally, issues which remain unresolved in the wake of the Court's Smith decision will be addressed, including the following. Observing that "neutrality" is the cornerstone of the Smith decision, what evidence may properly be considered when making the neutrality assessment? Will facial-neutrality be dispositive? Additionally, assuming that Smith …
