For their fourth annual Law and Society week mock oral argument, Lance Roxas, assistant professor of Political Science and Elizabeth Canapary, assistant professor of Criminal Justice, will argue the pending case of Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, in which the United States Supreme Court will determine this year whether states may bar faith-based foster care agencies if they refuse to place children in homes with same-sex couples. Professor Roxas will argue in favor of the petitioner, Fulton, and Professor Canapary will argue in favor of the respondent, the City of Philadelphia.
