Murphy Center - I do
Meaning of “I do” the focus of a Murphy Institute Atrium Forum on Marriage and Family
“Marriage and Family: Law, Religion and the Meaning of ‘I Do’” is the title of a forum by three of the nation’s leading scholars on marriage and family law Nov. 14 at the University of St. Thomas.
The forum, free and to the public, will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the Schulze Grand Atrium of the university’s School of Law, located at 11th Street and Harmon Place. A brief reception will follow.
Speakers will include professors from three law schools: Margaret Brinig of the University of Notre Dame Law School, Linda McClain from Boston University School of Law and John Witte Jr. of Emory University School of Law. They will discuss the difference between marriage and other intimate partnership relationships, the idea of “covenant Marriage” recently adopted in Louisiana, and the future of marriage and “family values” in America.
The event is part of the Atrium Forum Series hosted by the Terrence J. Murphy Institute for Catholic thought, Law and Public Policy at St. Thomas.
