ACS Tampa: Grounds for Discussion

Please join the ACS Tampa Lawyer Chapter for a discussion on how the legal advocacy efforts of conservative Christian legal organizations (CCLOs) helped to effect major transformations to key areas of US constitutional law in recent decades? Join Dr. Eric Stephen an Assistant Professor of American Politics and of Religious Studies at the University of South Florida--as he leads an open discussion on the rise of CCLOs and their role within the broader conservative legal movement. The conversation will inquire into how and why conservative religious groups have mobilized within the legal arena in recent years on issues such as free speech and religious liberty, the devotional commitments that influence their activism, and the ways progressive organizations can better understand these developments in relation to its own work.
