Cert Grant in Christian Legal Society Leadership-Selection case

See the press release from CLS and the Alliance Defense Fund.  It is excellent news for organizational freedom that the Court is willing to look at overturning the Ninth Circuit decision in this case.

The U.S. Supreme Court Monday agreed to decide whether a public university can refuse to recognize a religious student group because the group requires its leaders to share its religious beliefs. Attorneys with the Christian Legal Society and the Alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom represent a student chapter of CLS, which Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco refused to recognize because the group requires all of its officers and voting members to subscribe to its basic Christian beliefs.
