Tag Archives: ZZ: Christian Legal Society v Martinez

Huffington Post (Religion News Service) (5/11/2012): Jeremy Tedesco, senior counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, sees the Martinez decision “lurking in the background” of other cases. He filed suit in February on behalf of the Christian anti-abortion group Make Up Your Own Mind at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. The school, which does not have an all-comers policy like Hastings, was not going to formally recognize the group because officials deemed it nonreligious. “We don’t want the government determining whether a group is or is not religious,” he said.

Eugene Volokh writing at The Volokh Conspiracy: “Josh Blackman has video, liveblogging, and my PowerPoint presentation. The panelists were Notre Dame Prof. Rick Garnett, the Alliance Defense Fund’s [Jordan Lorence], Paul Smith (the lawyer in this case for the Hastings gay student group), and me; Judge Bill Pryor of the Eleventh Circuit moderated. I much enjoyed the panel, and hope the audience did, too.”
