“Religious Liberty, Applied”: In-House Counsel for Faith-Based Organizations
12:30 pm - 1:15 pm
Students with an interest in religious liberty law typically orient towards litigation - where there is indeed a great deal of activity, much of it cutting-edge, as the courts continue to work out the contours of various legal doctrines and exemptions applicable to religious organizations and individuals. But there is also fascinating and important work to be done as in-house counsel to religious organizations. This work, too, is cutting-edge and exciting; it requires a lawyer to be up-to-date on all of the latest court decisions and to exercise superb practical judgment in real-life scenarios where faith-based organizations must make difficult and consequential decisions about how to operate consistent with the religious beliefs that animate them. Call it "religious liberty, applied." Join Wasserstein Fellow Jennie Bradley Lichter as she offers students a window into practicing law as in-house counsel to faith-based organizations. Lunch provided. Please RSVP below! Open to the HLS community. -
