Rise and Fall of the Lemon Test

The 1787 Project - A podcast by Justin Dyer

Categories:

The Lemon Test was an important part of the Supreme Court's approach to the Establishment Clause for the last half century, but the recent case of American Legion v. American Humanist Association (2019) eschewed reliance on the Lemon Test and cast doubt on its continued relevance.
