Explaining Town of Greece v. Galloway

Ira C. Lupu, F. Elwood and Eleanor Davis Professor Emeritus of Law, recently lent his expertise to an article about the upcomingTown of Greece v. Galloway U.S. Supreme Court case that will consider the constitutionality of government-sponsored prayers at the opening of meetings of the Town Board. Professor Lupu said, "This case is about first principles: whether the government of a town, acting through its town board, can advance a particular brand of Christianity or any other faith.” Professor Lupu, a nationally recognized scholar on the religion clauses of the First Amendment, is the co-author (with GW Law Professor Robert Tuttle) of "Secular Government, Religious People" (forthcoming, Eerdmans Pub. Co, 2014).
