CHICAGO — Alliance Defense Fund Senior Counsel Jordan Lorence will be available to answer questions from the media at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit following a hearing Tuesday in a lawsuit against the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Lorence will be arguing that university officials violated the First Amendment by refusing to fund events of a student Catholic organization even though the school provides funding for the events of other student organizations.
The funding refusal, based on the fact that RCF’s events contained religious expression, violates the terms of a settlement agreement reached in a previous lawsuit ADF filed on behalf of the same group.
Case Name: Roman Catholic Foundation v. Walsh
