Presenter: Sherri C. Strand, Partner, Thompson Coburn and a member of the legal team who argued the case before the U.S. Supreme Court
In a case heralded as the most significant religious-freedom case decided by the The United States Supreme Court in decades, the High Court’s unanimous ruling in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, et al. acknowledged and affirmed the “ministerial exception,” a doctrine rooted in the First Amendment prohibiting courts from interfering with churches’ and other religious organizations’ decisions as to who will serve as ministers and other religious leaders. This class will review the ruling and to what types of religious organizations it may be applied, along with the history of the “ministerial exception” and how it may affect employment matters at nonprofit religious organizations. Approved for 2.8 hours Missouri CLE
