Congrats to Lumen Christi

This past Saturday, the annual Lumen Christi / Christian Law Professors' Fellowship conference was -- once again -- the highlight of "AALS week."  MOJ-folks -- Patrick Brennan, John Breen, Lisa Schiltz, Susan Stabile -- were invaluable contributors. 

Patrick's talk, in the context of a panel on the nature and future of Christian legal scholarship, explored -- among other things -- the way great legal scholars like Mary Ann Glendon and John Noonan have served as Christian legal scholars not so much by treating Christianity as a "theory of everything," but simply by example.  John Breen offered a spirited critique of the Skeel / Stuntz argument against legal moralism in the context of abortion regulation.  Susan Stabile and Lisa Schiltz -- 2/3 of a fabulous panel on Christian feminism-- really did "Catholic legal theory," exploring the potential contributions to feminism and feminist theory of Pope John Paul II's work and Catholic anthropology.

There's a lot more to be said about these (and others') talks at the conference.  Take it away, friends . . . .
