The sample chapter on Protecting Freedom of Religion in Prison begins by giving background information so students can appreciate the difficulties involved in accommodating prisoners’ religious needs and the importance of recognizing prisoners’ religious practices. Evelyn Tenenbaum contributed the chapter on 1st Amendment religion claims that arise in prison - which is described below and can be downloaded here - and a chapter on the Eleventh Amendment.

In the casebook, Sarah Ricks, Rutgers School of Law - Camden, focuses on the constitutional and statutory doctrines necessary to litigate 4th, 8th, and 14th Amendment claims. The casebook implements the ideas in the Carnegie Foundation’s Educating Lawyers (2007) and in Best Practices for Legal Education (2007) by integrating doctrine and skills and using multiple methods of instruction. Protecting Freedom of Religion in Prison: The Free Exercise Clause and RLUIPA is a sample chapter from Current Issues in Constitutional Litigation, 3d ed., A Context and Practice Casebook (Carolina Academic Press, 2020).
