Faculty Colloquium In light of the significance of marriage in religion, culture and law, and the differing concerns among faculty members the Law Faculty Colloquia on October 16, from 1-2 pm in RH 107 will consist of a brief presentation and debate of ideas on marriage and civil law (right after chapel).
The issue: “Whether civil law should set marriage entry and regulatory requirements when religious, social and moral pluralism so diversify a culture?”
Moderated by law student Joshua Bachman, panelists will include Dean Douglas Cook, Professor Louis Hensler, Professor Steve Fitschen, and Professor Lynne Marie Kohm. Debate and questions will be a focus, and students are invited.
Our objectives are to present to our new and current faculty and to students a perspective on challenging each other in preparation for engaging the world with scholarship.
