Webinar via Zoom
The intersection of law with deeply held religious beliefs can profoundly impact a person’s life. The Religious Freedom Conference provides a safe forum where competing viewpoints on these powerful topics are civilly and respectfully discussed. This year’s conference will address recent religious freedom developments at the Supreme Court, COVID-19 and religious freedom, how religious practices such as prayer, meditation and mindfulness can improve attorney mental health, wellness and productivity.
