I am excited to announce that Mark Movsesian will be guest blogging at Law and Liberty for the month of January on religious freedom and migration issues facing the Middle East, among other topics. Some of our readers will recall Mark’s earlier account of the Armenian genocide.

In addition to being the Frederick A. Whitney Professor and Director of the Center for Law and Religion at St. John’s University Law School, he is co-director of the Tradition Project, a new research initiative that explores the continuing relevance of tradition in law, politics, and culture. He writes in law and religion, contracts and international and comparative law; his articles have appeared in the Harvard, North Carolina, and Washington & Lee Law Reviews, the Oxford Journal of Law and Religion, the American Journal of International Law, the Harvard International Law Journal, the Virginia Journal of International Law, and many others.  He has been a visiting professor at Notre Dame and Cardozo Law Schools.

Professor Movsesian clerked for Justice David H. Souter of the Supreme Court of the United States and served as an attorney-advisor in the Office of Legal Counsel at the United States Department of Justice.

I look forward to his contributions.
