Amicus brief filed in the Constitutional Court of Colombia
The case, which involves student members of a faith-based group at the National University of Colombia, highlights the importance of religious freedom issues in higher education and demonstrates that these issues are global.
Jorge Barrera Rojas, a J.S.D. candidate at Notre Dame Law School, worked on the brief with Professor of Law and Global Affairs Diane Desierto and first-year J.D. student Giorgo Soto. Members of the Notre Dame Law School Religious Liberty Initiative leadership team and faculty fellows also assisted with the brief, including Professor Stephanie Barclay, director of the Religious Liberty Initiative; John Meiser, managing director for domestic litigation of the Religious Liberty Clinic; and Professors Rick Garnett and Nicole Stelle Garnett.
