Legal Commentary

Congratulations to Frank S. Ravitch on the publication of the second edition of his casebook, Law and Religion, A Reader.  Casebooks may not always get much respect from law professors (envy, yes -- I'd very much like to be an editor of a con law or law and religion casebook!), but the best of them are interesting and valuable enterprises, and I think this latest and much-expanded edition fits the bill.  Among other things, kudos to Prof. Ravitch for remembering, in an area in which our focus is so often on the Supreme Court, that there are such things as "lower courts," and that their opinions in this area may be illuminating, if only by way of showing us how little the Supreme Court has actually given us.
