Jurisprudential Legacy of Pope John Paul II

Some of you may have received a "save the date" card for St. John's University School of Law's upcoming symposium on the Jurisprudential Legacy of Pope John Paul II, which be held at the law school on March 23-24.  The four panels will explore both the theoretical underpinnings of the thought of Pope John Paul II and his views of justice as well as the application of his thought to different areas of the law.  Papers will be delivered by a number of theologians and law professors, including MOJ bloggers Robert Araujo, Mike Scapalander and Greg Sisk.  Commentary on the papers will be delivered by MOJ'ers Michael Perry, Rob Vischer, Amy Uelman and myself.  John Allen, NCR's Vatican correspondant, will be our keynote speaker.  I look forward to welcoming you to St. John's for what I know will be an exciting and informative program.
