This book provides a balanced treatment of a controversial topic. It covers the general background of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) so that the reader understands the context in which RLUIPA was passed by Congress in 2000, as well as a very practical discussion about RLUIPA litigation from the perspective of the church (religious land use applicant) and the perspective of the community. Attorneys as well as planners and religious land use applicants will benefit from reading this book, which offers information and advice on initiating a RLUIPA lawsuit, as well as defending a RLUIPA lawsuit.

- The unintended consequences
RLUIPA has visited on residential neighborhoods - RLUIPA - the Federal perspective
- RLUPA in the courts
- How local governments can nip RLUIPA claims in the bud
