This seminar is the required classroom component for students enrolled in the Religious Freedom Clinic. In the seminar, students will examine the history, theory, and law of religious freedom – and its limits – with an emphasis on the legal and ethical issues that arise in the Clinic’s fieldwork that term. Through the lens of religious-freedom advocacy, students will also develop the skills and norms central to the practice and profession of law, with an emphasis on cross-cultural competency, reflective lawyering, and an innovative defense of the marginalized, maligned, and misunderstood.
