Religion and the State in American Law provides a comprehensive and
up-to-date overview of religion and government in the United
States, from historical origins to modern laws and rulings. In
addition to extensive coverage of the religion clauses of the First
Amendment, it addresses many statutory, regulatory, and common-law
developments at both the federal and state levels. Topics include
the history of church-state relations and religious liberty,
religion in the classroom, and expressions of religion in
government. This book also covers the role of religion in specific
areas of law such as contracts, taxation, employment, land use
regulation, torts, criminal law, and domestic relations as well as
in specialized contexts such as prisons and the military.
Accessible to the general as well as the professional reader, this
book will be of use to scholars, judges, practising lawyers, and
the media.
The Twelfth Edition continues to provide an engaging and insightful
introduction to the federal estate, gift, and generation-skipping
transfer taxes, placing leading cases in historical context and
exploring their practical significance and policy implications. It
reflects changes in the basic exclusion amount under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act of 2017, as well as final regulations implementing the
Supreme Court's Obergefell decision concerning same-sex marriage
and recent judicial decisions concerning lifetime transfers and
family limited partnerships.
