2008 Religious Freedom Moot Court Problem Released

This year's National Religious Freedom Moot Court competition, hosted by George Washington University Law School, is scheduled for Feb. 22-23, 2008. The competition is open to selected teams of second and third year students from ABA-accredited law schools. This year's problem was released earlier this week. Teams will argue a case involving a challenge to the Army's regulation of proselytizing activity by military chaplains. A second issue involves the extent to which the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act limit the ability of the armed forces to regulate the content of chaplains' worship services.
