Religion & Law

Thanks to Rick and company for including me. I first came across Mirror of Justice when I was a young associate at Williams & Connolly and have followed it ever since, so it's a delight to be part of the discussion finally. As Rick mentioned, I regularly teach at Villanova, but I'm spending the current academic year as the Forbes Visiting Fellow in the James Madison Program in the Politics Department at Princeton University.

Speaking of which, Jeremy Waldron is with us for several days delivering the Madison Program's Charles Test Lectures, and his topic is religion and the foundations of international law. (Details here.) I'm an admirer of Waldron's earlier book on the foundations of equality in Locke and his recent work on public reason and religion, and these lectures look to be extending a broadly similar and exciting argument to international law. Stay tuned.
