Supreme Court Oral Argument in Holt v. Hobbs

I would like you to listen to the Supreme Court oral argument in Holt v. Hobbs (the RLUIPA prison beard case). We will do this as a way of making up next Wednesday's class, when I am speaking at UMKC law.

here is a link to the oral argument.

The case is not about religious land use, but the Court is interpreting the very same statutory standards that apply when land use laws are challenged under RLUIPA.

You will get more out of the argument if you read the Court's opinion first.
