About this book

An expanded version of a series of debates between the authors, this book examines the nature of corporate rights, especially with respect to religious liberty, in the context of the controversial Hobby Lobby case from the Supreme Court's 2013-14 term.

Reviews

"Finally, a genuine debate on an important issue that sheds light, not heat, and allows informed readers to make up their own minds." - Burt Neuborne, New York University School of Law, USA

"In this lively and engaging book, two of America's leading constitutional lawyers debate whether corporations should have religious rights. Gans and Shapiro present both sides of the argument, allowing you to be a Supreme Court Justice and decide the case yourself. A must-read for anyone who ever wondered if Mitt Romney was right when he said, 'Corporations are people, my friend.'" - Adam Winkler, UCLA School of Law, USA
