On February 22, 2021, Catholic Law Professor Mark Rienzi joined the Yale Law School (YLS) community for a virtual presentation entitled, “COVID, Churches, and the Courts.” Hosted by YLS’s Federalist Society, the conversation focused on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on religious liberty jurisprudence. Rienzi's academic writing focuses on religious liberty, and he has extensive experience working on religious liberty cases through his work with the Becket Fund, a non-profit, public interest law firm.
