The Competing Claims of Law and Religion

CLE Credit Available

Professor Suzanne Last Stone

University Professor and Director of Jewish Law and Contemporary Civilization, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law - Yeshiva University

Are the claims of state law and of religion competing or compatible? This question has resurfaced with the decentralization of government as the exclusive source of law in an era of globalization and the rise of political religion across the globe.   We will examine the contribution of Jewish law and legal doctrines to these debates.

This event is free and open to the public. Dessert reception following.
