U. of Montana School of Law silences Christian group, suit filed
ADF’s latest press release begins:
MISSOULA, Mont. — Attorneys with the Christian Legal Society and the Alliance Defense Fund filed suit today in federal court challenging the University of Montana School of Law’s decision to derecognize a CLS student chapter because of its Christian beliefs. . . . The Student Bar Association, the law school’s student governing body, originally recognized the chapter. However, after some students and faculty members opposed to CLS recognition complained, the SBA derecognized the CLS chapter and excluded it from receiving student activities funds available to other law school student organizations.
