Pepper Hamilton Files Brief in ACSI Appeal

By Ed Brayton

The lawsuit filed by the Association of Christian Schools International against the University of California over the university system's refusal to give credit for several classes taught in some Christian schools is now on appeal to the 9th circuit (the university won at the district court level) and our friends from Pepper Hamilton, Eric Rothschild and Steve Harvey, have filed a brief in the case on behalf of the California Council for Science and Technology.

Eric and Steve were the lead attorneys in the Dover trial and they did a brilliant job. And just as they were up against the mostly incompetent Thomas More Law Center in that case, they're up against the equally incompetent Wendell Bird in this case. Bird is the same attorney who lost in Edwards v Aguillard, the 1987 case that got creationism out of public school science classrooms.
