National Lawyers Association Foundation Announces
Completion of 4th Video/DVD for Declaration Project:

The First Amendment:
Freedom Of Religion... or Freedom From Religion?

As debate rages on all sides of the issue pitting the 1st Amendment against the 10 Commandments and the Pledge of Allegiance, this video, available in VHS and DVD formats, provides the answer to this hot topic by referencing the foundational documents that created this great nation and the positions of the Founding Fathers.

This 18 minute video, produced for senior high school, college and law students, features Douglas Kmiec, noted speaker and highly acclaimed constitutional law scholar, who currently holds the position of Chair & Professor of Constitutional Law at Pepperdine University. Professor Douglas Kmiec speaks in depth on the current crisis over the role of religion in America today and provides the solution in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Also included with the video at no extra charge is a second 45 minute seminar given by Professor Kmiec on the 1st Amendment for teachers who wish to provide a more comprehensive, in-depth presentation for their students.
