Symposium On Religious Law: Roman Catholic, Islamic, And Jewish Treatment Of Familial Issues, Including Education, Abortion, In Vitro Fertilization, Prenuptial Agreements, Contraception, And Martial Fraud, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri
Law Faculty Publications
This symposium offers perspectives from three religious law traditions: Roman Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism. Each of the three legal traditions offers a comprehensive, normative system that translates doctrine into practice and religious values into concrete directives. While the place of theological law differs in the respective religious bodies, each body asserts a binding authority over its confessional members.

Family Planning And Islamic Jurisprudence, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri
Family Planning And Islamic Jurisprudence, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri
Law Faculty Publications
In this speech, the author provides a brief overview of Islamic jurisprudence on the subject matter and does not recommend any particular position with respect to the debate on family planning. The author, however, wishes to emphasize to the reader the importance of correctly analyzing arguments and factors involved in the particular situation under consideration, in light of all relevant communal as well as individual factors. The author also wishes to emphasize the importance of formulating all such analysis free from all forms of compulsion and coercion, whether conscious or subconscious, individual or organized, including that of targeted advertising campaigns. …
The Three Uses Of The Law: A Protestant Source Of The Purposes Of Criminal Punishment, John Witte Jr., Thomas C. Arthur
The Three Uses Of The Law: A Protestant Source Of The Purposes Of Criminal Punishment, John Witte Jr., Thomas C. Arthur
Faculty Articles
In this article, we focus on the interaction of Anglo-American criminal law and Protestant theological doctrine. We argue (1) that the sixteenth-century Protestant theological doctrine of the uses of moral law provided a critical analogue, if not antecedent to the classic Anglo-American doctrine of the purposes of criminal law and punishment; and (2) that this theological doctrine provides important signposts to the development of a more integrated moral theory of criminal law and punishment in late twentieth century America.
Part One of this Article sets out the theological doctrine of the "civil," "theological," and "educational" uses of the moral law, …

Church Of The Lukumi Babalu Aye V. City Of Hialeah, Paul Bader
Church Of The Lukumi Babalu Aye V. City Of Hialeah, Paul Bader
Faculty Articles and Papers
In Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah,1 a Florida district court has gone further than any other federal court in proscribing a church's right to exercise its religious beliefs. The district court found that the city's interests in public health, child welfare, and animal welfare were sufficient to override the protection provided under the free exercise clause of the First Amendment.2 After the Eleventh Circuit Court of Ap- peals affirmed in an unpublished opinion the Supreme Court granted cer- tiorari to decide whether the First Amendment3 protects a religion's prac- tice of animal sacrifice. The Supreme …

The Right To Religion-Based Exemptions In Early America: The Case Of Conscientious Objectors To Conscription, Ellis M. West
The Right To Religion-Based Exemptions In Early America: The Case Of Conscientious Objectors To Conscription, Ellis M. West
Political Science Faculty Publications
One of the more controversial decisions handed down by the Supreme Court in recent years was its decision in the case of Employment Division, Oregon v. Smith, which raised the basic issue of whether the free exercise clause of the First Amendment guarantees a right to religion-based exemptions, i.e., whether it gives persons and groups a prima facie right to be exempt from having to obey valid laws when they have religious reasons for noncompliance. More specifically, in Smith, two Native Americans claimed that their prosecution for using an illegal drug, peyote, was precluded by the free exercise clause …

How I Changed My Mind, Thomas L. Shaffer
How I Changed My Mind, Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
My own changes of mind are not unique. I am one of a small group of law teachers who have, over the last thirty years, become clearer in formulating an Hebraic legal ethic. We are a minority who have become bolder. We owe such courage as we have located for that to modern pioneers, most notably Harold Berman, and, more lately, Emily Hartigan. What has changed most for us has been the clarity of our public witness; the substance all along has been old-time religion. When I say "clarity" I mean that we have come to see this substance in …

No editorial comment on the merits of these cases is intended.
Transfer Of Property By Inheritance And Bequest In Biblical Law And Tradition, Richard H. Hiers
Transfer Of Property By Inheritance And Bequest In Biblical Law And Tradition, Richard H. Hiers
UF Law Faculty Publications
In what follows, we first review briefly the kinds of property subject to transfer by inheritance or bequest. Next, we examine texts pertaining to intestate succession - that is, transfer of property by operation of law upon the death of the property holder without explicit provision by will or bequest as to who will inherit or take afterwards. As a summary expression, such transfers will be designated as "inheritance." In this context, we note the relevance of certain provisions regarding levirate marriage and the Year of Jubilee. We also consider the problematic nature of the so-called birthright practice in this …
Foreword To An Interview With Fred Korematsu, Larry Yackle
Foreword To An Interview With Fred Korematsu, Larry Yackle
Faculty Scholarship
One afternoon in the spring of 1942, Fred Korematsu was arrested for doing what would have been perfectly innocent and natural for millions of other American citizens, but was for him a criminal offense. He went for a stroll with his fianc6e along a public street in San Leandro, California.' By order of General John L. DeWitt, Americans of Japanese ancestry had been directed to remain in their homes during daylight hours and to ready themselves for transport to "assembly centers," where they would wait out the war.' Korematsu's family had already reported to such a center near San Francisco, …

This article examines specific restrictions promulgated and practiced during the Persian Gulf War, provides a brief historical analysis of how the United States and other nations have traditionally accommodated the religious activities of their military personnel, and addresses the question of how far we can constitutionally limit the free-exercise rights of the people in the military in light of current Supreme Court jurisprudence.

Erastian And Sectarian Arguments In Religiously Affiliated American Law Schools, Thomas L. Shaffer
Erastian And Sectarian Arguments In Religiously Affiliated American Law Schools, Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
The legal education establishment in the United States some time ago gave up discouraging religiously affiliated law schools. Its support for them now, however, is conditioned on their approaching religious affiliation in a manner that is seen as consistent with the dominant American attitude toward religion—that religion is a private affair and that public moral issues, including issues of jurisprudence and professional ethics, are secular issues, to be talked about in secular language, pursuant to secular principles, and in a secular style.
I begin here by considering the requirement of the American Bar Association, in its Standards for the Approval …
