Understanding Jurisprudential Approaches To Islam, Marc L. Roark
Understanding Jurisprudential Approaches To Islam, Marc L. Roark
ExpressO
The United States recent deal with a United Arab Emirites Company to operate seven U.S. Ports highlights a growing tension in U.S. and Arabic commercial relations. One tension that has remained unnoticed is the role that U.S Courts play in interpreting Islamic texts when the commercial or legal outcome depends on an understanding of the religious culture. This article describes seven cases that demonstrate various approaches to this problem. This article utilizes an approach by James Boyd White, and suggests that translation or its kin transliteration can help judges in deciding Islamic legal principles.
All In The Family: The Apocalyptic Legal Tradition As Crit Theory, Marc L. Roark
All In The Family: The Apocalyptic Legal Tradition As Crit Theory, Marc L. Roark
ExpressO
This essay compares the Evangelical manifestation of legal education with the political evolution of the critical legal studies movement. It suggests that the pedagogical methods, the concentration on historical criticism and the political origins suggest a familial relationship between the two groups that would appear to be diametrically opposed.
Zoned Secular: Seattle's Prohibition Of New Religious Facilities In Industrial Zones Violates The Religious Land Use And Institutionalized Persons Act's "Equal Terms" Rule, Daniel Kirkpatrick
Zoned Secular: Seattle's Prohibition Of New Religious Facilities In Industrial Zones Violates The Religious Land Use And Institutionalized Persons Act's "Equal Terms" Rule, Daniel Kirkpatrick
Washington Law Review
The "equal terms" rule of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) prohibits federal, state, and local governments from enacting land use regulations that place religious assemblies or institutions on less than equal terms with nonreligious assemblies or institutions. The plain language of RLUIPA makes it clear that the equal terms rule prohibits unequal treatment of religious assemblies and institutions as compared to non-religious assemblies and institutions. RLUIPA's legislative history further reveals that Congress enacted the equal terms rule to counter zoning laws that favor secular assemblies and institutions over religious assemblies and institutions. Accordingly, federal courts have …
Living By The Sword: The Free Exercise Of Religion And The Sikh Struggle For The Right To Carry A Kirpan, Rishi S. Bagga
Living By The Sword: The Free Exercise Of Religion And The Sikh Struggle For The Right To Carry A Kirpan, Rishi S. Bagga
ExpressO
Sikhism is a 500 year old religion with a growing presence in the United States. However, one of the articles of faith required for Sikhs, a kirpan (a ceremonial sword), conflicts with the norms of American life for these often misunderstood people. This paper gives a brief primer on Sikhism and discusses some of the day-to-day problems and recent issues facing kirpan-carrying Sikhs in North America. Upon reviewing the current state of free exercise jurisprudence as applied to the kirpan, I outline several suggestions for the acceptance and accommodation of kirpans.

Apparent Consistency Of Religion Clause Doctrine, The The Rehnquist Court And The First Amendment, Abner S. Greene
Apparent Consistency Of Religion Clause Doctrine, The The Rehnquist Court And The First Amendment, Abner S. Greene
Faculty Scholarship
A hallmark of religion clause scholarship is the complaint that the doctrine is a hopeless muddle. However, the Rehnquist Court brought a considerable amount of consistency-well, apparent consistency- to the doctrine. I say "apparent consistency" because, just as a paradox is only a seeming contradiction, so was the Rehnquist Court's religion clause jurisprudence only seemingly consistent. The doctrine focuses on whether the government singles out religion for special benefit (generally problematic under the Establishment Clause) or for special burden (generally problematic under the Free Exercise Clause). If, on the other hand, the government benefits religion as part of a more …

Faith In The Public Square: Some Reflections On Its Role And Limitations From The Perspective Of Catholic Social Thought, Lucia A. Silecchia
Faith In The Public Square: Some Reflections On Its Role And Limitations From The Perspective Of Catholic Social Thought, Lucia A. Silecchia
Scholarly Articles
In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the proper role of religion in the public square. This paper offers brief reflections on the role for religious entities to play in the process of law-making and the development of public policy. It addresses this question NOT from the perspective of the government looking at religion to see what role it should play. Rather, it examines this question from the perspective of a religious group assessing what its proper role and moral obligations might be in the public square. Much of this discussion is taken, specifically, from principles of …
Islamic Principles Governing International Trade Financing Instruments: A Study Of The Morabaha In English Law, Jason C. T. Chuah
Islamic Principles Governing International Trade Financing Instruments: A Study Of The Morabaha In English Law, Jason C. T. Chuah
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The past years have seen a clear and incontrovertible rise in the use of international financial and commercial instruments expressed to be governed by Islamic principles. Banks and other commercial entities in Islamic and non-Islamic countries are increasingly aware of the commercial need to offer services which are specifically tailored to meet this sector of the international market. Disputes over the interpretation and application of such instruments invariably arise. English courts are not insulated from such disputes, given that the City of London is at the forefront of many international commercial and financial dealings. As a matter of law, the …
In Praise Of Contextuality - Justice O'Connor And The Establishment Clause, Marie Failinger
In Praise Of Contextuality - Justice O'Connor And The Establishment Clause, Marie Failinger
Faculty Scholarship
Among Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s lasting contributions to Supreme Court Jurisprudence has been her attempt to contextualize Religion Clause jurisprudence, to move the Court in the direction of considering the circumstances surrounding government in assessing its constitutionality. Typical of this contributor has been her two decades of work in Establishment Clause law, in particular, ended by Lynch v. Donnelly, in which she introduced the “non-endorsement” test and one of the Ten Commandment cases, McCreary County, Kentucky v. American Civil Liberties Union, in which it was most recently employed. The non-endorsement test has served as one of the two commonly competing …

Compassion Inaction: Why President Bush's Faith-Based Initiatives Violate The Establishment Clause, Martha A. Boden
Compassion Inaction: Why President Bush's Faith-Based Initiatives Violate The Establishment Clause, Martha A. Boden
Seattle University Law Review
The Administration's Faith-Based Initiatives would fail a constitutional challenge under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Applying the three-pronged test developed in Lemon v. Kurtzman and Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, this Comment concludes that the Initiatives, (1) though purportedly secular, have been enacted for a sectarian purpose and are not neutral toward religion; (2) are coercive and fail to fulfill the condition of private choice because the rural poor, such as those in Franklin County, Washington, whom the Initiatives target, realistically cannot choose between non-religious and sectarian service providers; and (3) to the extent that Initiative funded programs can …

Christian Faith And Political Life: A Dialogue, Randy Beck
Christian Faith And Political Life: A Dialogue, Randy Beck
Georgia Law Review
The proper relationship of the Christian to the community's political and legal institutions has been a recurring issue since the earliest days of the church and the earliest days of our nation. The relevance of Christian faith to political participation again became a topic of conversation in this country following the 2004 presidential election. Since that election, Americans have engaged in much discussion regarding the role of religion in our nation's politics. Not all of this discussion has been productive. In the dialogue that follows, Jason Carter and Randy Beck discuss the political implications of Christian faith and prospects for …
A Reply To Professor Beck, Jason Carter
A Reply To Professor Beck, Jason Carter
Georgia Law Review
The 2004 election reinvigorated the debate about Christianity's role in our nation's lawmaking. The election saw increased polarization between the secular left, and the politicized Christian right.' Evangelical Protestants voted overwhelmingly for the Republican candidate, George W. Bush, while the most secular voters voted overwhelmingly for John Kerry.2 The 2004 election emboldened the Christian right. In addition to what they believed was their crucial role in President Bush's victory, the Christian right celebrated the passage of constitutional amendments banning gay marriage in all eleven states where such amendments were on the ballot.? One leader of the Christian right stated that …
Common Sense About Original And Subsequent Understanding Of The Religion Clauses, Kent Greenawalt
Common Sense About Original And Subsequent Understanding Of The Religion Clauses, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
This Essay is mainly about the Establishment Clause, but it covers analogous questions about free exercise as well. I try to untangle the threads of various controversies, concentrating primarily on what seems fairly resolvable on examination, while also noting uncertainties that do not yield to easy analysis. I ask how constitutional language should have been and should be interpreted, adopting a strategy that gives weight to ordinary meaning and to the general sense of why that language was adopted. I do not eschew reference to legislative history; however for our purposes in this Essay, legislative history turns out to be …
The Usa Patriot Act: A Policy Of Alienation, Kam C. Wong
The Usa Patriot Act: A Policy Of Alienation, Kam C. Wong
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This Article provides a brief overview of how Muslims were treated after 9/11. It documents how the USAPA and related measures have been used to monitor, investigate, detain, and deport Muslim U.S. citizens in violation of their civil rights. Of particular importance, is how the life circumstances of the Muslims in America have changed for the worse as a result of zealous enforcement and discriminatory application of the USAPA. In so doing, this Article seeks to provide concrete facts and a rich context to ascertain the implications of 9/11 on American society.
Jeffersonian Walls And Madisonian Lines: The Supreme Court’S Use Of History In Religion Clause Cases, Mark Hall
Jeffersonian Walls And Madisonian Lines: The Supreme Court’S Use Of History In Religion Clause Cases, Mark Hall
Faculty Publications - Department of History and Politics
In Everson v. Board of Education (1947), Justice Wiley Rutledge observed that '[n]o provision of the Constitution is more closely tied to or given content by its generating history than the religious clause of the First Amendment. It is at once the refined product and the terse summation of that history.' Scholars and activists argue about the relevance or irrelevance of the Supreme Court’s use of history in general, and the extent to which Justices are good historians. These debates have been particularly furious with respect to the Court’s use of history in religion clause cases. Although broad claims are …

Toward A Genuine Debate About Morals, Religion, Politics, And Law: Why America Needs A Christian Response To The "Christian" Right, Jason Carter
Georgia Law Review
America's current debate about religion's role in politics offers a false choice. On one side is the politicized Christian right.' This group, loosely defined, consists of those political groups and leaders who associate themselves with traditional conservative ideas on culture and claim to represent fundamentalist or evangelical Christians. This group has been by far the most vocal advocate of the position that religion deserves an increased role in our nation's policy making. Indeed, it has come to dominate that position. The response to the Christian right has come almost exclusively from the secular left. It argues not with the Christian …
