- W143839268 abstract "I. INTRODUCTION A religious organization enters a contract with a builder to construct a new facility and breaches the contract; a student at a private, religiously-affiliated school slips on a patch of ice and is seriously injured because of the school maintenance crew's negligence. The builder and the student are aggrieved by the actions of the respective religious institutions. Consequently, they seek to resolve their disputes through the judicial system, as would any other individual with a potential legal claim. Although the adjudicative process would involve church and state, the First Amendment Religion Clauses would not likely be implicated, because the application of contract and tort law to these secular activities does not inhibit religious exercise or involve government in religious activities. In contrast to the above contract and tort examples, consider the relationship between church and state that would ensue from adjudicating a tort claim filed by a parishioner whose priest's marriage counseling progressed to sexual misconduct,1 or an employment discrimination claim by a female nun who was allegedly denied tenure as a professor of canonical law because of her gender.2 These legal disputes do not involve mere application of a secular standard to secular conduct.3 Rather, adjudicating claims that implicate matters of church doctrine or governance necessitates a certain degree of intrusion into constitutionally significant religious matters. As long as church and state have coexisted, courts have struggled with the question of how to treat disputes involving religious institutions. On the one hand, religious institutions are like corporations and other organizations in that they are comprised of individuals but act as unified entities. Clearly, the state regulates corporations and non-religious organizations, so by analogy, religious institutions should not be immune from state regulation.4 On the other hand, the Framers of the Constitution distinguished religion from other group activities by affording religious groups special protections from state interference in the First Amendment's Religion Clauses.5 This protection from state regulation is not without limit, however, especially when religious organizations' interests collide with those of individuals whom the state has a regulatory interest in protecting. Considering this conflict of interests, how courts should respond when individuals assert that a religious institution has violated their legal rights is a complicated issue, especially in the context of an increasing amount of state regulation. The issue varies in complexity, however, depending on the type of legal dispute at hand. Intuitively, certain bodies of law are less controversial than others in their application to religious institutions. For example, application of contract law to a breach of contract issue or tort law to a negligence claim does not raise substantial issues of state intrusion into important church matters.6 When the applicable body of law intrudes more extensively into religious governance or doctrine, however, courts struggle to determine the extent to which churches should comply. One such troublesome area of law is employment discrimination. This Note seeks to define the proper role of courts in mediating discrimination-based employment disputes involving religious institutions.7 Specifically, this Note argues that instead of focusing on whether an employment dispute implicates a ministerial relationship,8 as courts have done by analyzing the primary duties of the plaintiff in order to determine application of the constitutional ministerial exception, justiciability should be based on whether adjudication of the dispute would actually implicate religious doctrine or practice. Part II of this Note examines the statutory framework of Title VII and the extent to which Title VII's language facially applies to employment disputes involving religious employers. …" @default.
