DescThe Stanford Law School Religious Liberty Clinic is the newest addition to the School's distinguished program of clinical legal education organized under the Mills Legal Clinic. It is the only law school in the country dedicated exclusively to the religious liberty issues, offering students the opportunity to represent clients in disputes arising from a wide range of beliefs, practices and customs. The clinic was made possible, in part, by a generous $1.6 million gift from the The Washington DC based Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. The clinic's founding director is James A Sonne, an experienced teacher and practitioner with paricular expertise in law and religion. Stanford Law School offically launched the Religious Liberty Clinic on January 14, 2013.Desc

OtherPage 2 Part III Line 4: Becket is a non-profit, public-interest law firm with a mission to protect the free expression of all faiths. Becket exists to vindicate a simple but frequently neglected principle: that because the religious impulse is natural to human beings, religious expression is natural to human culture. We advance that principle in three arenas-the courts of law, the court of public opinion, and the academy-both in the United States and abroad. At Becket we have defended the religious rights of people from "A to Z," from Anglicans to Zoroastrians. Our supporters represent a myriad of religions, but they all share our common vision of a world where religious freedom is respected as a fundamental human right that all are entitled to enjoy and exercise. Becket relies on its own legal team, and its lawyers are renowned experts in litigating this particular aspect of constitutional law.
