About this ebook
The 2025–2026 Supplement to the Casebook: Religion and the Constitution (5th Edition), authored by prominent legal scholars Michael W. McConnell, Thomas C. Berg, and Christopher C. Lund, is a critical legal update published through institutions like Stanford Law School Publications. This annual supplement updates the foundational text to track shifting Supreme Court jurisprudence regarding First Amendment religious freedom clauses. [1, 2]
Core Casebook Overview
The baseline textbook, Religion and the Constitution (5th Edition), explores the complex legal relationship between the U.S. government and religious entities. It is widely used in law school seminars covering religious liberty, civil rights, and constitutional limits. The 5th edition core book integrated pivotal modern conflicts, including: [1, 2]
  • Establishment Clause Displays: Presumptive validation of historical religious monuments, notably established in American Legion v. American Humanist Association. [1]
  • Public Funding Parity: Prohibitions on excluding religious schools or organizations from general state funding programs, utilizing precedents from Trinity Lutheran v. Comer and Espinoza v. Department of Revenue. [1]
  • Anti-Discrimination vs. Free Exercise: High-profile legal stalemates involving religious objectors and sexual-orientation nondiscrimination ordinances, highlighted by Masterpiece Cakeshop and Fulton v. Philadelphia. [1]
Purpose of the 2025–2026 Supplement
Because the Supreme Court frequently handles emergency dockets and issues major merits rulings regarding the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses, annual supplements are necessary for active law courses. The 2025–2026 edition provides curated case edits, notes, and legal questions dealing with recent court terms. [1, 2, 3]
