The Women Of The Wall: A Metaphor For National And Religious Identity, Pnina Lahav
The Women Of The Wall: A Metaphor For National And Religious Identity, Pnina Lahav
Faculty Scholarship
The Women of the Wall wish to participate in communal prayer in the women’s section of the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Their practice is to pray as a group, wrap themselves in a tallit, and read from the Torah scroll. They represent Jewish pluralism in that their group includes Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and secular women. They represent openness to change in that they base their claims on Halakhic interpretation, thereby embracing the capacity of Jewish law to evolve. This article reviews the resistance of the religious and political establishment in Israel to their claim and their struggle, unsuccessful so far, …

Corporate Conscience And The Contraceptive Mandate: A Dworkinian Reading, Linda C. Mcclain
Corporate Conscience And The Contraceptive Mandate: A Dworkinian Reading, Linda C. Mcclain
Faculty Scholarship
When a closely-divided U.S. Supreme Court decided Burwell v. Hobby Lobby (2014), upholding a challenge by three for-profit corporations to the contraceptive coverage provisions (“contraceptive mandate”) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (“ACA”), sadly missing in the flurry of commentary was the late Ronald Dworkin’s assessment. This essay asks, “What would Dworkin do?,” if evaluating that case as well as Wheaton College v. Burwell, in which, over a strong dissent by Justices Sotomayor, Ginsburg, and Kagan, the Court granted Wheaton College emergency relief from complying with ACA’s accommodation procedure for religious nonprofit organizations who object to …

God And Guns: The Free Exercise Of Religion Problems Of Regulating Guns In Churches And Other Houses Of Worship, John M.A. Dipippa
God And Guns: The Free Exercise Of Religion Problems Of Regulating Guns In Churches And Other Houses Of Worship, John M.A. Dipippa
Faculty Scholarship
This Article demonstrates that the cases raising religious liberty challenges to state regulation of weapons in houses of worship reveal the persistent problems plaguing religious liberty cases. First, these cases illustrate the difficulties non-mainstream religious claims face. Courts may not understand the religious nature of the claim or they may devalue claims that do not seem “normal” or “reasonable.” This is compounded by how few religious liberty claimants, especially non-mainstream religions, win their cases. Second, the cases are part of the larger debate about how easy it should be to get judicially imposed religious exemptions from general and neutral laws. …
The Lutheran Lawyer: Some Reflections On The Ethics Contributions Of Susan Martyn, Marie Failinger
The Lutheran Lawyer: Some Reflections On The Ethics Contributions Of Susan Martyn, Marie Failinger
Faculty Scholarship
Recently, Professor Susan Martyn, who is honored in this tribute issue, contributed to a forthcoming volume on Lutheran theological views of secular law of which I am co-editor. Ever the professional, Professor Martyn expressed initial uncertainty about her ability to make a contribution to this volume without more theological expertise. Not to worry, Professor Martyn's prodigious work ethic and creative lawyering produced an insightful chapter entitled, "Can Luther Help Modem Lawyers Understand Fiduciary Duty?" As it turns out, she argued, Martin Luther can help modem lawyers because he understood the ancient roots of fiduciary law that lie at the foundation …
People Of The Book: Judaism’S Influence On American Legal Scholarship, My Journey From Judaism To Jewish Law, Donna Litman
People Of The Book: Judaism’S Influence On American Legal Scholarship, My Journey From Judaism To Jewish Law, Donna Litman
Faculty Scholarship
My personal study of the Torah and the Talmud as an adult has enhanced my legal scholarship and helped shape my current thinking on legal theory. At the same time, my professional legal training and experience as a law professor has shaped my understanding of Judaism and provided a legal terminology and a lens by which to view the array of Jewish laws. A confluence of events helped shape my personal and professional journey.

Women And The Free Exercise Clause: Some Thoughts About A (Religious) Feminist Reading, Marie Failinger
Women And The Free Exercise Clause: Some Thoughts About A (Religious) Feminist Reading, Marie Failinger
Faculty Scholarship
Among the dozens of Supreme Court cases on the free exercise of religion, women play a mostly invisible part. We know of Adell Sherbert and Frieda Yoder; and less famously, Alma Lovell, Lillian Gobitis, Paula Hobbie, Sarah Prince, and Lucie McClure. We know that these women go out into the streets to tell the Good News, refuse to salute idols, refuse to work on the Sabbath, and refuse to go to school in violation of their religion. But, we do not hear their voices very loudly.
At the same time, until recently, we have consistently heard only one woman's voice …
Religious Freedom And (Other) Civil Liberties: Is There A Middle Ground?, Abner S. Greene
Religious Freedom And (Other) Civil Liberties: Is There A Middle Ground?, Abner S. Greene
Faculty Scholarship
There appears to be an intractable debate between those who favor religious accommodations and those who favor civil liberties such as abortion rights and equality rights for same-sex couples. Many take firm positions of truth about one matter or the other. Here, I sketch a middle ground, continuing my endorsement of a robust normative or value pluralism. I canvass some arguments for this position, while also describing and critiquing some works of intellectual history that seem too wedded to one teleological posture or another. Despite my support for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, I critique the Court’s Hobby Lobby ruling, …

Exclusion And Equality: How Exclusion From The Political Process Renders Religious Liberty Unequal, Philip A. Hamburger
Exclusion And Equality: How Exclusion From The Political Process Renders Religious Liberty Unequal, Philip A. Hamburger
Faculty Scholarship
Exclusion from the political process is a central question in American law. Thus far, however, it has not been recognized how religious Americans are excluded from the political process and what this means for religious equality.
Put simply, both administrative lawmaking and § 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code substantially exclude religious Americans from the political process that produces laws. As a result, apparently equal laws are apt, in reality, to be unequal for religious Americans. Political exclusion threatens religious equality.
The primary practical conclusion concerns administrative law. It will be seen that this sort of "law" is made …
