As in previous years, the 2012 problem will focus on a relevant and challenging issue that involves the intersection of the First Amendment, competing interests in society, and the continually changing nature of the law. The drafters of this year’s problem have crafted a problem that creatively focuses on the intersection of copyright law and the religion clauses of the First Amendment. It is expected that through written briefs and oral arguments, this year’s competitors will challenge, or support, the application and constitutionality of one of these legal tensions.
