LOS ANGELES —<\/p> \n

Concord Law School at Purdue Global<\/a>, Purdue\u2019s online school for working adults, will present a live discussion titled \u201cThe Battle Over Religious Liberty in the Courts\u201d on June 21 for the next installment of its Distinguished Speaker Series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The live webinar, which will take place at noon PT (3 p.m. ET), will be hosted by\u00a0Martin Pritikin<\/a>, dean and vice president of the Concord Law School, and will feature guest speaker\u00a0Mark Rienzi<\/a>, president and CEO of the\u00a0Becket Fund for Religious Liberty<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

n addition to his role at the Becket Fund, Rienzi is a law professor and serves as co-director of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Catholic University of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Religious liberty continues to be a hot-button legal issue. Recent cases that have reached the Supreme Court have involved a high school football coach praying on the field, a postal worker refusing to deliver on Sundays, and the denial of special education funding at private religious schools. Pritikin and Rienzi will discuss the Supreme Court\u2019s historical establishment clause jurisprudence and provide insights as to where it will likely go in the future \u2013 and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe recent religious liberty cases touch on the clash between some of our most deeply held values as individuals and as a society. There is perhaps no one more qualified to address these issues than Professor Rienzi,\u201d Pritikin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California-licensed attorneys can receive one California general Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) credit for attending this webinar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
