Clergy Duties As Community Service Does Not Violate Establishment Clause

In City of Cleveland v. Curtis, (OH Ct. App., Cuyahoga, Nov. 8, 2007), an Ohio court of appeals held that a trial judge did not violate the Establishment Clause when, in a traffic case, he waived a fine, imposed community service, and permitted defendant, a clergyman, to satisfy the service through his regular clergy duties.
