Conference of Religiously Affiliated Law Schools
SPREAD THE WORD:
On May 2-4, 2012, Touro Law Center will host the biennial Conference of Religiously Affiliated Law Schools. The Conference will explore a variety of important issues related to the general theme of "The Place of Religion in the Law School, the University, and the Practice of Law. " Specific topics of discussion will include, among others: the relationship between the religiously affiliated law school and the university; bringing religion into the classroom; law and religion programs and institutes; and the role of religion in the work of public interest lawyers.
Along with the formal Conference proceedings, there will be time for informal discussions among participants, on these and other issues of common interest.
In addition, Touro Law Center will help facilitate opportunities for participants (and accompanying family members) to enjoy New York culture and entertainment, both during the Conference and in the weekend that follows.
For more information on the conference, please contact Professor Samuel J.

Is it odd that a (as far as I can tell) non-religiously affiliated law school is hosting the conference of religiously affiliated law schools? Or am I missing something about Touro? (I couldn't find anything about it being religiously affiliated on its web page.) I don't know that there's anything wrong about this, if I'm right about Touro, but it seems odd and a bit funny (Especially as there are several religiously affiliated law schools in or as close to the NY City area, if that mattered.)
