In the last year nearly 50 bills and state constitutional amendments intending to ban state courts from considering international, foreign, or religious law were introduced in more than 20 states. Such provisions-- commonly referred to as "Sharia law bans" or "anti-Sharia law legislation"--have already passed in Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Louisiana.
Once adopted these bans have the potential to obstruct state courts from performing essential functions including enforcement of commercial contracts, intra-country adoptions, foreign marriages, Native American rights, foreign, judgments, and the outcome of voluntary faith-based dispute resolution forums as well as efforts to thwart child abduction. The provisions also have serious implications for individual rights under the free exercise clause of the First Amendment.
Our panel will discuss the origin of these bans, their potential impact on how state courts function, and efforts to combat the provisions in legislatures and the courts.
