The Catholic Lawyer

The Catholic Lawyer has been a student-edited journal here at St. John's since 1955, but we've been making a concerted effort recently to turn it into more of a faculty-driven journal.  Judging from the issue that has just been published, our efforts are paying off.  Articles include:

• Abortion, Bishops, Eucharist, and Politicians: A Question of Communion by Greg Sisk and Charles Reid;
• The Spirituality of Communion: A Resource for Dialogue with Catholics in Public Life by Amy Uelman;
• Born Again on Death Row: Retribution, Remorse and Religion by Michael Simons;
• Finding Marriage Amidst a Sea of Confusion: A Precursor to Considering the Public Purposes of Marriage by Randy Lee; and
• Taking Liberalism and Religious Liberty Seriously: Shifting Our Notion of Toleration from Locke to Mill by James Beattie.

Our next issue will include articles by Michael Perry and Mark Sargent, as well as a symposium titled "Religious Education and the Liberal State," featuring contributions from James Dwyer, David Smolin, Michael Broyde, Michael Scaperlanda, and Asma Afsaruddin.

Manuscripts are always welcome, and will be reviewed by faculty (me).  Annual subscriptions are currently only $12.50, so make sure you subscribe soon before the administration realizes what a bargain this is.
