UC Law lecture examines religion in public schools
Noah Feldman, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, will be the guest speaker for the Professor Ronna Greff Schneider Lecture on Constitutional Issues in Education Law. His lecture, “Religion in Public Schools: Constitutional Revolution in Action,” will be held at 12:15 p.m., Tuesday, Mar. 19, 2024, in Room 160 at the College of Law (2925 Campus Green Drive). CLE: 1 hour of general CLE has been approved for Kentucky; approval is pending for Ohio. Parking is available at the Campus Green Garage.
This event is free and open to the public. A reception will be held after the lecture. Registration is not required but is appreciated.
This lecture is made possible through the generous support of Dr. John Schneider and his family in honor of Professor Schneider’s 42-year career teaching at the University of Cincinnati College of Law.
About the Lecture
In recent years the Supreme Court has substantially revised, even revolutionized, the law of free exercise and establishment. This lecture will consider the changes, their interaction, and the real world consequences. It will consider how the law will evolve going forward in the light of the history of religious liberty in the United States.
