New Law and Religion Journal

Virginia Wesleyan University's Center for the Study of Religious Freedom has published the first issue (full text) of a new on-line journal, Religio et Lex. The journal's call for papers says it:

seeks submissions of quality papers on any aspect of the intersection of religion(s) and law, including the experience of religious adherents under secular legal systems and examinations of religious legal systems...

The journal will publish both student and faculty papers. A link to Religio et. Lex has been added to the Religion Clause sidebar under "Journals".
