Cambridge University Press has announced the publication of a new book by Cardozo Law School Professor Marci A. Hamilton, titled God vs. the Gavel: Religion and the Rule of Law. The publisher describes the book as a challenge to "the pervasive assumption that all religious conduct deserves constitutional protection." The description continues: "While religious conduct provides many benefits to society, it is not always benign. The thesis of the book is that anyone who harms another person should be governed by the laws that govern everyone else - and truth be told, religion is capable of great harm. This may not sound like a radical proposition, but it has been under assault since the 1960s."
On SSRN, Prof. Daniel O. Conkle, Indiana University Law Schoool, has posted Indirect Funding and the Establishment Clause: Rehnquist's Triumphant Vision of Neutrality and Private Choice , which will appear as a chapter in a new Cambridge University Press book, The Rehnquist Legacy.
