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.
Last year's winning brief was published by the Rutgers School of Law Journal of Law and Religion. It has been made available here.
