Emory University Law and Religion Program

The Law and Religion Program in the Law School at Emory University is designed to explore the religious dimensions of law, the legal dimensions of religion, and the interaction of legal and religious ideas and methods. Established in 1982, the Law and Religion Program provide students and faculty with unique forms and forums of interdisciplinary study. The program is ecumenical and comparative in perspective, with emphasis on the religious traditions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and the legal traditions of the Atlantic continents. In 1996, the program published a landmark two volume series on Religious Human Rights in Global Perspective.
