Lessons from Bavaria

by John W. Welch | undefined 56 | 04-07-2023

Toward a Mormon Jurisprudence

by John W. Welch | undefined 6 | 08-09-2013

The following article was published in the Regent University Law Review in the first number of its 2008-2009 volume, pages 79-103. The article is reprinted here by permission without any substantive modifications. Because law reviews are not easily available on the Web or elsewhere to most readers, I am pleased to give wider exposure to this first foray into the idea of a Mormon jurisprudence. Regent University is an Evangelical Christian institution.
