Abstract

The article argues that law schools and the legal profession play a crucial, though underappreciated, role in maintaining the rule of law, democratic processes, and individual freedoms in American society. It explores the intersection of religion and legal education, particularly how religious faith that mandates specific public laws may conflict with the evidentiary and deliberative underpinnings of legal education. The article concludes that legal education fosters a common ground for deliberation, aligning with the principles of the First Amendment, and highlights the importance of this role in a pluralistic society.
