26 Jan 2016    

Professor Richard Duncan's article, Legislative Prayer, the Supreme Court of the united States and Two Concepts of Religious Liberty, was published in the Humanities and Social Sciences Review. The article briefly contrasts two concepts of religios liberty - the French concept of strict secularism and freedom from religion, and the United States' concept of mutual tolerance and freedom of religion as reflected in a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court upholding officially-sanctioned prayers at meetings of local legislative counseils, such as town boards or city councils. 

Professor Duncan joined the faculty in 1979. Professor Duncan teaches Property and Constitutional Law. He is a passionate and enthusiastic classroom teacher, whose style is not so much Socratic Dialogue as Socratic Performance Art. Professor Duncan has a strong interest in writing and speaking about federalism, liberty, religious freedom, and the right to life.
