Religiously Affiliated Law Schools conference

Here is an updated announcement about the Religiously Affiliated Law Schools conference, which is being held this year at Touro and organized by Prof. Sam Levine:

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.

“We are excited to host this conference at Touro Law, particularly since it is the first time the conference will be hosted at a law school with a Jewish affiliation,” said Samuel J. Levine, Professor of Law and Director of the Jewish Law Institute at Touro Law Center. “We look forward to a meaningful conference that will have a positive and lasting impact.”
