Book Review: Freedom Of Religion Under The European Convention On Human Rights, S. I. Strong Jul 2002

Book Review: Freedom Of Religion Under The European Convention On Human Rights, S. I. Strong

Faculty Publications

Oxford University Press has initiated a new series on the European Convention on Human Rights and, in light of recent world events, could not have found a more timely first installment than Carolyn Evans's book on freedom of religion. However, the choice of topics is sound even when one sets aside the current interest in the interplay between law and religion.

Islamic Law And Ambivalent Scholarship, Khaled Abou El Fadl May 2002

Islamic Law And Ambivalent Scholarship, Khaled Abou El Fadl

Michigan Law Review

This book reminds me of the image of the arrogantly condescending and blustering tourist in Cairo who drifts into a store that has taken the trouble of prominently displaying the price of their commodities in nicely typed tags. Nevertheless, the tourist walks in, reads the price tag, and then proclaims, "Okay, what is the real price?" The poor store employee stares at him with incredulity, and simply repeats the price on the tag, and, in response, the tourist emits this knowing and smug smile as if saying, "I know you guys, you never mean what you say; everything in Arab …

"Charitable Choice" And The Accountability Challenge: Reconciling The Need For Regulation With The First Amendment Religion Clauses, Michele E. Gilman Apr 2002

"Charitable Choice" And The Accountability Challenge: Reconciling The Need For Regulation With The First Amendment Religion Clauses, Michele E. Gilman

All Faculty Scholarship

Since 1996, Congress has included charitable choice provisions in several social welfare statutes to encourage the participation of religious organizations in administering government-funded social service programs. In this Article, Professor Michele Gilman discusses the lack of accountability to beneficiaries that occurs when public funds are given to religious organizations for secular programs, and she proposes solutions to this problem. As Professor Gilman explains, doctrines that constrain abuses of governmental discretion, such as administrative procedure acts and constitutional restrictions, generally do not apply when public programs are privatized. Moreover, religious organizations are often insulated from public scrutiny because of First Amendment …

Revenue Bonds And Religious Education: The Constitutionality Of Conduit Financing Involving Pervasively Sectarian Institutions, Trent Collier Mar 2002

Revenue Bonds And Religious Education: The Constitutionality Of Conduit Financing Involving Pervasively Sectarian Institutions, Trent Collier

Michigan Law Review

The Establishment Clause - and particularly the issue of government funding of religious education - is one of the murkiest areas of Supreme Court jurisprudence. The Supreme Court has acknowledged as much, and the sharp divide in the Court's most recent forays into Establishment Clause territory illustrates the point that the current jurisprudential standards allow for a broad range of interpretation. There is some hope that the Supreme court will provide further clarification of its Establishment Clause standard in the near future. For now, however, it appears that the dominant mode of the Establishment Clause analysis is the examination of …


Disestablishmentarianism Collides With The First Amendment: The Ghost Of Thomas Jefferson Still Haunts Churches, Mathew D. Staver, Anita L. Staver Jan 2002

Disestablishmentarianism Collides With The First Amendment: The Ghost Of Thomas Jefferson Still Haunts Churches, Mathew D. Staver, Anita L. Staver

Faculty Publications and Presentations

This history of church-state relations in the Commonwealth of Virginia date back to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Efforts by Jefferson and others to disestablish the state church may be likened to an army conquering a foreign enemy. The state established church was viewed as a remnant of the British government. Disestablishment was considered to be part of the ongoing Revolution. As this article will show, the methods of disestablishment included prohibiting the incorporation of churches, confiscating property, and limiting the amount of real and personal property that churches may own.

Religiously-Based Social Security Exemptions: Who Is Eligible, How Did They Develop, And Are The Exemptions Consistent With The Religion Clauses And The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (Rfra)?, James Glenn Harwood Jan 2002

Religiously-Based Social Security Exemptions: Who Is Eligible, How Did They Develop, And Are The Exemptions Consistent With The Religion Clauses And The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (Rfra)?, James Glenn Harwood

Akron Tax Journal

There are parallels to this biblical example in the current regime of religiously-based social security exemptions. Ministers, members of religious orders, Christian Science practitioners and members of certain religious faiths may receive an exemption from social security taxes based on a religious or conscientious objection. This article will first review the current law granting exemption for these groups. It will next review the historical development of these exemptions in light of the overall expansion of the social security program to show the ad hoc approach Congress took in granting these religiously-based exemptions. It will then analyze the constitutionality of the …


Assisted Reproduction In Jewish Law, Daniel B. Sinclair Jan 2002

Assisted Reproduction In Jewish Law, Daniel B. Sinclair

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article attempts to untangle Jewish law regarding assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), namely artificial insemination with husband's sperm, artificial insemination with donor sperm, and in vitro fertilization. The author examines teachings by prominent Jewish law scholars and clarifies basic schools of thought regarding each method. He explores Jewish law prohibitions on incest and adultery and the laws regarding legal parentage and lineage of the child and explains the consequences of ARTs on those laws.
