Research and Clinic

Religious freedom has obtained an increasingly high profile in the courts, the media, and public awareness. In order to keep pace this Centre takes twofold approach. First, it fosters the research and the study of law and religious freedom through comparing transatlantic approaches. Secondly, it is taking the first step in Europe to join the innovative rise of religious freedom legal clinics that allow law students to experience religious freedom litigation in both European and American courts by preparing and filing amicus briefs in cases of religious freedom importance.

Clinic

The Centre's clinic students research and analyze major religious freedom cases, especially before the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. Cases pending before various national courts, as well as those relating to freedom of speech, will also be examined according to their scope and nature when confronted with the Centre's core mission.
