Law & Religion

Law and Religion explores the intersection between legal systems and religious beliefs, examining how religious principles have influenced laws and how laws have regulated religious practices.

From questions of freedom of religion to faith-based arbitration, law and religion considers how governments balance deeply held faith-based traditions with constitutional and secular values.

Our leading legal scholars explore questions of law and religion from a diverse range of theoretical, historical and comparative approaches.
