DESCRIPTION:A Crucial Conversation about the War between Religion and Law in America 
 \nwith political activist, draft resister, and civil rights attorney Peter 
 Irons. \n\nEminent civil rights attorney, draft resister, political 
 activist, and legal scholar Peter Irons will be in conversation with 
 Jeffrey Brand, Dean of the USF Law School, to talk about his new book God 
 On Trial: Dispatches from America's Religious Battlefields. The event will 
 be introduced by Lewis Klausner of LitMinds.org. \n\nOver the past two 
 decades, federal courts have become contentious battlefields in America’s 
 growing religious wars. Since 1989, five momentous court cases testing the 
 principles of separation of Church and State have divided communities—and 
 the nation.  Peter Irons, a noted constitutional scholar, lawyer, and 
 author of the bestselling May It Please the Court, provides detailed and 
 penetrating accounts of  these cases. He includes first-person monologues 
 from both sides of each case that reveal the passions and rationales at 
 work in these conflicts. Irons shows that when the courts debate issues 
 like the public display of a cross or the words “under God” in the 
 pledge of allegiance they founder and drift for lack of clear legal 
 standards.\n \n$5 at the door; no one turned away for lack of funds. \nFor 
 information e-mail lewis@litminds.org \nThis event is organized by 
 LitMinds.org.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/05/14/18416299.php
