JOHN PAUL II IN AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCE. A SURVEY OF ISSUES
Abstract
The paper is intended as a bibliographical and introductory essay on the reception of
John Paul II’s teaching in American legal scholarship. It is based on research into articles
published in American legal periodicals over the past 25 years of the current Pontificate, most
of which are available in Lexis-Nexis. The research, conducted in November 2003, has identified over 750 entries of „John Paul II” in law reviews and over 150 in legal news, but
a great majority of them refer to the Pope merely incidentally, usually in footnotes. The
author attributes this fact to the prevailing opinion in legal academia that there is no room
for references to religious authorities in legal discourse and - specifically - to the
secularization of American legal education, including that provided by religiously affiliated
law schools.
