St. John’s Law and Villanova Law are collaborating to present an exciting new seminar for Spring 2014, the Joint Colloquium in Law and Religion. The course invites leading law and religion scholars to make presentations to an audience of selected students and faculty. The scheduled presenters are:

Michael Walzer, Institute for Advanced Study
February 10, 2014 (at Villanova)
Sarah Barringer Gordon, University of Pennsylvania Law School

The schools will connect in real-time by video link so that students and faculty at both schools can participate in a virtual classroom experience. At St. John’s, the colloquium will be hosted by Professors Mark Movsesian and Marc DeGirolami, the Center’s Director and Associate Director. Vice Dean and Professor Michael Moreland will host at Villanova.
“The Joint Colloquium is modeled on the highly-successful Colloquium in Law, which the Center for Law and Religion hosted at St. John’s in 2012,” Professor Movsesian said. “Our new partnership with Villanova will enrich the course by allowing our students to participate in conversations with their counterparts at another school. It will also take advantage of new distance-learning technologies that St. John’s provides.”
