The Law & Religion Symposium

Each year since 1994, BYU's International Center for Law & Religion has hosted a symposium devoted to the discussion of law and religion. To date, more than 850 government, academic, and religious leaders and visitors from 118 countries have met together to discuss principles of religious liberty and to explore mechanisms to better implement these principles.  The symposium is open to anyone who is interested in attending.

2011 Symposium: "Religious Freedom in a Pluralistic Age: Trends, Challenges, and Practices"
This year's symposium will take place October 2-4 at the J. Reuben Clark Law School on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. This Symposium will take place just a few weeks before the 30th anniversary of the issuance of the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief, which was proclaimed by resolution of the General Assembly on November 25, 1981. The conference topic will provide an opportunity for participating scholars, religious leaders, government actors, and representatives of the judiciary from all parts of the world to reflect upon such hopes and efforts as those set forth in the 1981 Declaration, to ponder the accomplishments, challenges, and plans for the future that face those who are involved with such issues.

Please check back for a complete schedule and additional information.
