Reinterpretations Of St. Paul's Concept Of Law, Tawia B. Ansah
Reinterpretations Of St. Paul's Concept Of Law, Tawia B. Ansah
Tawia B Ansah
The article is at the intersection of law, philosophy, and theology. I examine the work of Giorgio Agamben and Alain Badiou on Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. Both approach Pauline law formalistically, but with very different ideas about what law is. Whereas Agamben sees continuities, Badiou sees breaks and ruptures, between law and ideas traditionally extrinsic to the realm of the juridical (grace, faith, love, etc.). But both apprehend a political significance of Paul to juridical thought within late modernity (postmodern and post-secular). I analyze their work, therefore, for its relevance to legal theory.

State Funding Of Devotional Studies: A Failed Jurisprudence That Has Lost Its Moorings, Mark Strasser
State Funding Of Devotional Studies: A Failed Jurisprudence That Has Lost Its Moorings, Mark Strasser
Mark Strasser
The Court’s attitude toward the public funding of devotional studies can best be described as ambivalent. Not long ago, devotional studies were viewed as one of the few kinds of study that the state clearly could not fund. Then, the Court did an about-face, implying that public funding of devotional studies does not violate constitutional guarantees, because that kind of study cannot be distinguished for constitutional purposes from other kinds of permissibly funded areas of study. Still more recently, the Court has changed course yet again, suggesting that states may but need not refuse to fund such studies, reverting to …

Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Illusory Safeguards against Funding Pervasively Sectarian Institutions of Higher Learning
Tilton v. Richardson, Hunt v. McNair, and Roemer v. Board of Public Works are often thought to offer a coherent view of the Establishment Clause limitations on funding religiously affiliated institutions of higher learning. But the decisions themselves offer inconsistent analyses of Establishment Clause limitations and, further, were the analyses in these cases applied more generally, Establishment Clause guarantees would be even less robust than they are currently thought to be.
The difficulties for the Court in offering a coherent approach to public funding …

Repudiating Everson: On Buses, Books, And Teaching Articles Of Faith, Mark Strasser
Mark Strasser
Ever since deciding Everson v. Board of Education, the Court has wrestled with the proper way to characterize the limitations imposed on the states by the Establishment Clause. Many of the cases have involved the extent to which the state can give aid to the parents of children attending primary and secondary sectarian schools. The Court’s understanding of the limits on this kind of aid has changed markedly over the past sixty years, having first involved an analysis of the degree to which the state would be aiding religious teaching and then having changed to an analysis of whether the …

The Idea Of Pollution, John Copeland Nagle
The Idea Of Pollution, John Copeland Nagle
John Copeland Nagle
Pollution is the primary target of environmental law. During the past forty years, hundreds of federal and state statutes, administrative regulations, and international treaties have established multiple approaches to addressing pollution of the air, water, and land. Yet the law still struggles to identify precisely what constitutes pollution, how much of it is tolerable, and what we should do about it.
But environmental pollution is hardly the only type of pollution. Historically, the idea of pollution referred to a host of effects upon human environments. This remains evident in contemporary anthropological literature, which studies the pollution beliefs of cultures throughout …

The Chicago School Virus, Spencer Weber Waller
The Chicago School Virus, Spencer Weber Waller
Spencer Weber Waller
The Chicago School of Law and Economics is a leading example of a highly successful legal ideology. As one recent commentator has noted: "[T]he basic characteristic of the Chicago School is the belief that free markets and the price mechanism are the most effective and desirable ways for a society to organize production and economic life in general." The Chicago School of Law and Economics applies these insights to legal questions and views the creation and enforcement of legal rules primarily in terms of how legal rules and institutions promote allocative efficiency and wealth maximization.

On March 15, 2006, French President Jacques Chirac signed into law an amendment to his country’s education statute, banning the wearing of "conspicuous" signs of religious affiliation in public schools. Prohibited items included "a large cross, a veil, or skullcap." The ban was expressly introduced by lawmakers as an application of the principle of government neutrality, "du principe de laïcité." Opponents of the law viewed it primarily as an intolerant assault against the hijab, a head and neck wrap worn by many Muslim women around the world. In Politics of the Veil, Professor Joan Wallach Scott …

The Political Origins Of Secular Public Education: The New York School Controversy 1840-1842, Ian C. Bartrum
Scholarly Works
As the title suggests, this article explores the historical origins of secular public education, with a particular focus on the controversy surrounding the Catholic petitions for school funding in nineteenth-century New York City. The article first examines the development of Protestant nonsectarian common schools in the northeast, then turns to the New York controversy in detail, and finally explores that controversy's legacy in state constitutions and the Supreme Court. It is particularly concerned with two ideas generated in New York: (1) Bishop John Hughes' objection to nonsectarianism as the 'sectarianism of infidelity'; and (2) New York Secretary of State John …
