John Infranca Presents on Religious Land Use at Washington D.C. Conference

March 2-3, 2012: Furman Center Legal Fellow John Infranca presented his paper on religious land use at the Association for Law, Property and Society’s 3rd Annual Conference at Georgetown Law School in Washington D.C. His presentation proposed an alternative framework for interpreting the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), which protects religious landowners from certain land use regulations that infringe on religious exercise.  Infranca focuses on the institutional nature of most RLUIPA claimants and applies theories of institutional free exercise and hardship tests from other land use doctrines to the claims of religious institutions.
