"Religion as a Basis of Lawmaking? Reflections on the Nonestablishment of Religion"
Professor Michael J. Perry, Emory University School of Law


photo: Michael K. PerryMichael John Perry specializes in three areas: 1) American constitutional law and theory, with an emphasis on constitutional rights; (2) law, morality, and religion; and (3) human rights theory. Perry is the author of over sixty articles and essays and eleven books. His 11th book, The Political Morality of Liberal Democracy, will be published by in 2010.

Since 2003, Perry has held a Robert W. Woodruff University Chair at Emory University, where he teaches in the law school. A ‘Woodruff Chair’ is the highest honor Emory University bestows on a member of its faculty. Before coming to Emory, Perry was the inaugural occupant both of the Howard J. Trienens Chair in Law at Northwestern University (1990-97), where he taught for fifteen years, and of the University Distinguished Chair in Law at Wake Forest University (1997-2003). Perry began his teaching career at the Ohio State University College of Law (1975-82) and has taught as a visiting professor at several law schools, including Yale (1978-79), Tulane (1987), New York Law School (1990), the University of Alabama (2005), and the University of Western Ontario, Canada (2009).

During the 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12 academic years, Perry is splitting his time between Emory University and the University of San Diego, where, as the University Distinguished Visiting Professor in Law and Peace Studies, he is teaching a course in international human rights to graduate students at the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies and at the School of Law.
