About the
Center
Established in 2010, the Center for Law and Religion at St. John’s
School of Law provides a forum for the study of law and religion
from domestic, international and comparative perspectives. Directed
by Professor Mark L. Movsesian,
and supported by members of the
Law School faculty with an interest in law and religion, the
Center aims to:
• Examine the role of law in the relationship between religion and
the state
• Explore the concept of law in different religious
traditions
• Promote St. John’s Vincentian mission by
encouraging an open dialogue on law and religion in the local,
national and international communities
In addition to hosting
academic programs here and abroad, the Center offers a Visiting
Speaker Series featuring experts on law and religion from academia
and public life. It also coordinates the Law School’s
law and religion curriculum.
