In the Hill, Professor Brownstein Explores Religious Liberty, Exercise of Choice

Professor Emeritus Alan Brownstein wrote an April 11 op-ed for The Hill headlined “Does religious liberty protect the exercise of choice?”

“In the culture war battles over abortion and transgender rights, religion and religious liberty claims are often identified exclusively with one side of these disputes — those who oppose abortion and transgender rights,” Brownstein writes. “This is no longer the case.” 

Professor Brownstein, a nationally recognized constitutional law scholar, taught Constitutional Law, Law and Religion, and Torts at UC Davis School of Law for more than 30 years. Before his retirement from full-time teaching, he held the Boochever and Bird Endowed Chair for the Study and Teaching of Freedom and Equality.
