Constitutional Conversation with Michael Broyde

“Religious Courts and the Rule of Law: Friends or Foes?” Dispute resolution by private means–and especially by arbitration–is increasingly common practice in the United States. But what are the benefits and drawbacks of using those tools to resolve disputes among religious communities? Are things like Sharia Tribunals, Rabbinical Courts, and Christian panels a challenge to the rule of law? Or a way to better understand and improve it? Join the Constitutional Law Center for a discussion with Professor Michael J. Broyde, professor of law at Emory School of Law and senior fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University.
