2025 Distinguished Dyson Lecture: Prof. Michael C. Dorf - Establishment & Free Exercise Clauses

Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University 2025 Distinguished Dyson Lecture "Play In the Joints Of the Religion Clauses and Law More Broadly" Delivered by Professor Michael C. Dorf, Robert S. Stevens Professor of Law at Cornell Law School Professor Dorf’s lecture takes as its starting point a view articulated by the late Chief Justice Rehnquist, writing for a majority of the Supreme Court in Locke v. Davey, 540 U.S. 712 (2004): “there are some state actions permitted by the Establishment Clause but not required by the Free Exercise Clause.” Professor Dorf examines how recent cases involving the Constitution’s religion clauses erode this principle. He argues that “play in the joints” is a valuable principle in many domains: the law ought not forbid whatever it does not demand; instead, it should leave substantial room for choice. He discusses conflicts between antidiscrimination law and free speech on campus. Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University https://law.pace.edu
