Vischer blurbed in Legal Affairs

The latest issue of the always enjoyable Legal Affairs magazine features, among other things, a short review of, and comment on, our colleague Rob Vischer's paper, "Heretics in the Temple of the Law." (Unfortunately, a link to the blurb is not yet available. So, read the magazine!).

After summarizing Rob's paper, the reviewer writes: "It's a cheery message, but it is made less convincing by Vischer's failure to answer the big question facing religious lawyers: How can they reconcile their religious doctrine with the doctrine of the separation of church and state?"

With all due respect, I'm not sure Rob's "failure" to grasp (what strikes me as) this awkward question undermines his paper at all; in any event, he does engage, and takes seriously, the problem of religious lawyering in conditions of pluralism. Read Rob's paper, and see what you think.
