The Moot Court
Recognizing “religion’s special role in our society,”1 The George Washington University Law School is proud to have inaugurated the National GW Religious Freedom Moot Court Competition. Religious freedom, embodied in the twin Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment, is one of the fundamental guarantees of the United States Constitution and is a founding principle of our nation. The Moot Court competition will focus on a current religious freedom issue that implicates a First Amendment controversy.
Problem Update: The problem will be released on November 5, 2007. This year's problem focuses on current controversies involving the military chaplaincy and implicating the Religion Clauses and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Registration Deadline: November 1, 2007
