Don't tell me law is boring when judges seize every opportunity to slam litigants' character in the most eloquent ways possible
"Having regard to all the emails sent to him and to his response, it needs to be said that his conduct fell woefully short of that
required from a reasonable professional."
"The papers in the rule 53 proceedings were not placed before this court. Both parties, it appears, take the view that it is not necessary for the court to have regard to those papers." lmao

An issue that I’ve never seen any direct discussion of—how does the American state deal with cases of religious conflict between minors and their guardians? For instance, if a child of strict Christian parents decides to become a Muslim. Is there any precedent for a state intervention in the child’s favor to try to ensure them some sort of exercise of their religion?
My impression is that there is simply no guarantee of freedom of religion for a minor (or rather, freedom of religion is interpreted as supporting the guardian here against the state), allowing guardians to discipline their minors as they see fit, and that any state intervention in the minor’s favor would be limited to if the guardians met the normal standards of child abuse and no sooner.
Cases related to this are talked about all the time, especially with LBGT minors, but I’ve never seen one framed as a freedom of religion issue. Which is pretty bizarre to me.
Do you have any knowledge of any relevant precedent or practice here?
There was actually a case about this recently that did Not involve LGBTQ topics, just a horny teen boy getting it on with his girlfriend in the high school parking lot.
After Utah County parents discovered their son was having sex with his girlfriend during school hours, they sued the Alpine School District.
I have an uncomfortable suspicion that historically, USA case law may have been more supportive of minors who converted to Christianity than other religions, but this is a really interesting question. @barren-and-trivial-words or anyone else who has topical expertise know anything about this?
Social science students really be like: I've got to do this 1000 word research essay on domestic violence against women while simultaneously learning about Freud's obvious cocaine addiction and reading through Case Laws to answer questions from a "legal" perspective while you ignore your personal opinions.
I'm out here reading case notes and by God the way they're written is an adhd mood of trying to explain something that you can only see because of all the weird converging thought trains in your head.
I now know what its like to be on the other side of that conversation.
I'm so sorry to anyone who has ever listened to me in that mode because what the fuck none of this makes any sense if youre not on the exact same brainwave.
