The Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University is a higher education research center focused on interdisciplinary exploration at the intersection of law and religion. It aims to produce scholarship, teaching, public programs, and faculty support that examine how legal frameworks and religious perspectives interact around the world, with ongoing attention to Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and human rights, and expanding into areas such as jurisprudence, social justice, and health. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, the center operates within Emory University and engages scholars, students, and broader audiences to foster dialogue and training for future academics, lawyers, and religious leaders. The organization emphasizes three core dimensions—religious perspectives, legal perspectives, and interdisciplinary methods—in its research and public engagement. It has a stated mission to generate innovative scholarship and to contribute to global conversations on law and religion, positioning itself as a thought leader in this field.
