“It’s wonderful to receive this national recognition,” said Mark L. Movsesian, who produces and contributes to the blog as Director of the Center, together with Associate Director Marc O. DeGirolami. “When we started CLR Forum two years ago, Professor DeGirolami and I envisioned it as an online hub for a vital dialogue on law and religion issues --issues that impact everyday life across the globe. We’re proud to see our vision come to fruition and have such a positive impact.” Movsesian added, “We’re grateful to the ABA Journal and our readers—especially the ones who nominated us!”
