LAW432: Law and Religion
This unit explores key areas where law and various religious traditions intersect. A major theme in the unit relates to constitutional law principles concerning separation of church and state, and free exercise of religious belief. This involves an inquiry into the philosophical origins of these principles as well as their implementation in the constitutional law of Australia, Great Britain, and in particular, the United States of America. The unit also covers a variety of other issues where law and religion intersect including: blasphemy; marriage; clergy as employees; abortion; and matters relating to life and death.
