This symposium offers perspectives from three religious law traditions: Roman Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism.

University of Richmond Law Review
As a Cambridge magistrate in the England of 1960, Lady Rothschild doubtless considered herself an unlikely candidate for participation in a biblical drama reenactment. Nonetheless, on October 21, 1960, she willingly played the role of the last- minute angel of mercy in a virtual reenactment of the story of Abraham and Isaac -a story which, with unfortunate variations in the outcome for the child, seems destined to be repeated frequently in the future.

University of Richmond Law Review
The name of the state where I was born and raised-Kentucky-derives from a Native American word meaning "the dark and bloody ground."
