24th annual McElroy Lecture on Law and Religion, Oct. 24

The McElroy Lecture on Law and Religion series provides a forum for prominent thinkers and leaders to address fundamental issues of law, religion and society. The 24th annual lecture is set for Tuesday, Oct. 24 from 5-6 p.m. at the Riverfront Campus, Room 226. A reception follows the lecture in the atrium.

This year’s lecture is titled “Religious Lawyering in a Polarized World,” and will be presented by Amy Uelmen of Georgetown Law. The McElroy Lecture is made possible through the gift of Detroit Mercy Law alumnus Philip J. McElroy.

The lecture seeks to educate students, legal professionals and the wider public on a variety of questions related to moral philosophy, freedom of conscience, the interaction of legal and religious institutions and the role of religion in public life. Its goal is to encourage discussion and deepen understanding of these issues in our community.
