Legal Analysis
Legal and Constitutional
Tracking
Under the aegis of the Roundtable on Religion
and Social Welfare Policy, George Washington University
Law School will research, track, and analyze legal developments
in government aid to faith-based social welfare organizations.
The project will interpret the significance of broader
constitutional law developments, such as aid to non-public
schools, for charitable choice. The project will identify
settled areas of constitutional law that form accepted
parameters of aid to FBOs, and places where legislative
schemes or agency rules fail to reflect such parameters
– either out of reluctance or over-eagerness to
include religious providers in social welfare programs.
The project also will focus on continuing areas of uncertainty,
such as religious selectivity in employment decisions.
The project will provide thorough and nonpartisan legal
information to all Roundtable participants and serve
as a clearinghouse for the broader public – including
the media and legal scholars – interested in the
interaction of government and religious social service
providers.
