ViewCSLR Research Projects
The Center for the Study of Law and Religion sponsors several research projects on discrete themes that have religion at their core but command the analysis of several other disciplines, not the least law and legal theory. Most projects yield public forums and publications. Larger projects are driven by a team of Emory senior fellows and scholars from other institutions; some consist of a series of multiyear initiatives, often with the generous support of both Emory University and external benefactors.

"We seek to sponsor a deeper and richer understanding of law by increasing understanding of the fundamental role religion has played in shaping law, politics, and society."
