Zucca on Law & Religion in Europe

By Lawrence Solum

ADVERTISEMENTS

Lorenzo Zucca (King's College London School of Law) has posted Law vs Religion (LAW, STATE AND RELIGION IN THE NEW EUROPE: DEBATES AND DILEMMAS, Camil Ungureanu, Lorenzo Zucca, eds., CUP, 2010) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:

This paper deals with the conflict between Law and Religion in Europe. It analyzes various types of conflicts that arise between those two normative systems and offers a typology of those conflicts. Illustrations of those conflicts include the role played by courts in adjudicating conflicts of rights to religious freedom and other rights; the role of the newly established Muslim Arbitration Tribunal; issues of conflict of laws dealing with the validity of poligamous marriages; and relation between State and Church. After presenting those conflicts, the paper proposes innovative ways to understand those problems in order to dispel those conflicts rather than adjudicating them.
