Events

Throughout the year, the Roundtable hosts events that focus on the latest developments affecting faith-based social services. These include research presentations, legal analysis and discussion forums with leading policymakers, scholars, religious leaders, and other important stakeholders in the Faith-Based and Community Initiative.

State of the Law 2008

December 2, 9 a.m. – 11 a.m.
National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW, Washington, DC

Attendance is free. Please register here.

The Roundtable's noted legal experts, Professors Ira C. Lupu and Robert W. Tuttle of George Washington University Law School, have closely watched and commented on the legal developments surrounding the Faith-Based and Community Initiative since President George W. Bush launched that effort in 2001. Their annual “State of the Law” reports, drawing on their finely honed insights and long-term perspectives, have become must-reads for those interested in keeping up with significant changes in laws affecting government partnerships with religious groups. In their upcoming 2008 report, they not only look back over the last year, but over the last eight years – and even into the future of the next administration – in examining what the changes wrought under President Bush might mean for such partnerships going forward.
