Humphrey v. Lane: The Ohio Constitution's David Slays the Goliath of Employment Division, Department of Human Resources of Oregon v. Smith

Authors

Jeffrey D. Williams

Abstract

This Note explores the renewed relevance and power of the Ohio Constitution’s free exercise language in combating the weakened protection afforded an individual’s free exercise of religion under current federal analysis. The Goliath of the Smith analysis is slain by the David of the Humphrey analysis, which is rooted in the Ohio Constitution.
