Daniel Ray, professor of law and chair of Cooley Law School’s Constitutional Law Department, conducted a live webcast titled, “How Much Separation Should There be Between Government and Religion?” on Jan. 11. The webcast focused on issues from Town of Greece (NY) vs. Galloway, which was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 6, 2013. The primary question addressed was “…whether a legislative prayer practice violates the Establishment Clause notwithstanding the absence of discrimination in the selection of prayer givers or forbidden exploitation of the prayer community.” The program was held at Cooley’s Auburn Hills campus and was live webcast at the Lansing, Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor campuses. Ray’s presentation was followed by a short question and answer session. Also participating in the event were practicing attorneys and Cooley staff, including Gerald Fisher, Lori Grigg Bluhm, Nita Murray-Grier, Carol Rosati, Sara Sturing and Jim Tamm. Ray is a 1987 graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Law School. Before joining academia, Ray practiced law in Kansas and Missouri.
