OXFORD,
\nMiss. – A discussion of religious overtones in environmental policy
\nissues is to be presented by a University of Illinois professor of law
\nand business Thursday (April 16) at the University of Mississippi.<\/p>\n

Andrew
\nMorriss, UI’s H. Ross and Helen Workman Professor of Law and professor
\nof business, delivers the address at 4 p.m. in Paris-Yates Chapel.<\/p>\n


Morriss “will engage in a thought experiment, arguing that there are valuable lessons to be learned from treating environmentalism as if it were a religion subject to the First Amendment’s prohibition on laws respecting the establishment of religion,” said Chris Green, UM assistant law professor.<\/p>\n

“We’re very excited to bring a scholar like Professor Morriss to Ole Miss,” Green said. “We expect that his presentation will offer the sort of interdisciplinary cross-fertilization that is so important for fostering critical thought on deeply important issues like our relationship to the environment.”<\/p>\n

Morriss’ presentation is especially timely, given the significance of the “green” movement on campus and around the country, said Samuel M. Davis, UM law dean.<\/p>\n

“I have long been a proponent of interdisciplinary study, and he will add immensely to the move toward connecting law to other disciplines,” Davis said.<\/p>\n

Morriss is a research fellow of the NYU Center for Labor and Employment Law, senior fellow at the Property & Environment Research Center, Bozeman, Mont., senior scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and regular visiting professor at Universidad Francisco Marroqu\u00edn, in Guatemala.<\/p>\n

He previously served as the Galen J. Roush Professor of Business Law and Regulation at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was also associate dean from 2000 to 2003. He received his A.B. degree from Princeton University, his J.D. and a master’s degree in public affairs from the University of Texas and his Ph.D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author or co-author of more than 40 book chapters and scholarly articles and was recently named one of the Reporters for the Restatement of Employment Law by the American Law Institute.<\/p>\n
