The panel was be moderated by the Humanist Legal Society Coordinator and AHA paralegal Izzy Oldfield.

The panelists addressed the U.S. Supreme Court’s notable church-state separation decisions and civil rights decisions this term. Specifically, opinions handed down on LGBTQ equality in the workplace, state funding of religious schools, the scope of the ministerial exception to employment discrimination laws, and religious and moral objections to the ACA contraception mandate.
