County Will Not Send Judge To Florida Christian CLE Program

Hamilton County, Ohio Commissioners have refused to authorize $1700 to send Cincinnati state court of appeals judge Rupert Doan to a Christian legal conference in Naples, Florida. The Cincinnati Enquirer today reported that even though judges are required to attend continuing legal education programs, this one, the Christian Legal Society's national conference titled Faith at the Crossroads: Following Christ in Law & Life, was turned down by the county commission not because of its religious content, but because of its "exotic Location".
