Rutgers Journal of Law and Religion
"The Rutgers Journal of Law and Religion stems from the realization that as the world becomes figuratively smaller, and secular constructs such as law become more complex, an understanding of the role of religion within this transformation has become more crucial than ever. The Rutgers Journal of Law and Religion was not founded with a particular ideology in mind. Rather, its goal is to explore how law impacts different religions, and reciprocally, how various religions impact the law."

Center for the Study of Law and Religion
"The CSLR at Emory University is designed to explore the religious dimensions of law, the legal dimensions of religion, and the interaction of legal and religious ideas, institutions, and methods. The CSLR predicates its work on the belief that religion gives law its spirit and inspires its adherence to ritual, tradition, and justice. Law gives religion its structure and encourages its devotion to order, organization, and orthodoxy. Law and religion share such ideas as fault, obligation, and covenant and such methods as ethics, rhetoric, and textual interpretation. Law and religion also balance each other by counterpoising justice and mercy, rule and equity, discipline and love."
