The 2012 Conference
on Christian Legal Thought

I am pleased to announce that the 2012 Conference on Christian Legal Thought, co-sponsored by the Law Professors Christian Fellowship and the Lumen Christi Institute will take place on Saturday, January 7, 2012, at the University Club in Washington, D.C.

This year the conference panels will address a variety topics including the role of public unions and the state of organized labor, legal pedagogy, free speech and moral discourse, and the vocation of Christian lawyers and law teachers.  Speakers for the event include David Gregory (St. John’s), Thomas Kohler (Boston College), Susan Stabile (Univ. St. Thomas), Deanell Reece Tacha (Pepperdine), Eric Claeys (George Mason), Mary Leary (Catholic U.), Michael McConnell (Stanford), Paul Salamanca (Kentucky), and Kent Syverud (Wash. U.).

As in the past, this event promises to be a wonderful occasion for both scholarly engagement and fellowship.  Academics and legal professionals interested in exploring the connection between the law and the Christian intellectual tradition are welcome to attend.  You can register for the conference online here.
