About
UVA Law is home to outstanding scholars of both the religion clauses and the speech and press clauses of the First Amendment. As the freedom of speech becomes an ever more important and contested right within our society, and as the religion clauses become an active and controversial area in Supreme Court jurisprudence, scholars at the Law School are at the forefront of the debates, in law reviews and philosophical journals, as well as in courthouses and the public square.
