ACSBlog: The Blog of the American Constitution Society

ACS and the West Virginia Law Review are pleased to announce that papers written for “The Religion Clauses in the 21st Century” symposium held at the West Virginia University College of Law are now available. Video excerpts of the panelists discussing symposium topics are also available.

Written by scholars in the law of church and state, the symposium papers reflect perspectives on issues organized according to these themes: “The Religion Clauses in Institutional Contexts,” “Government Religious Expression,” “Accommodation of Religion,” and “Religion and Politics.”

Over the next few weeks, ACSBlog will publish short introductions by the authors to a number of the articles. A list of the papers written for the symposium can be found below the fold.
