The Legal Show Equal Protection Under The Law

Attorney Sarah Kopel and writer/columnist  Bennet Pomerantz discuss the subjects of the day. 

The audience should know that although Ms. Kopel is a licensed attorney, she is not offering legal advice in any capacity, is not establishing an attorney/client relationship with anyone listening to the show, and recommends that any listener of the show consult a local attorney for any legal advice they may require.

This show is about us discussing hot topics and how they relate to the law.

Tonight we discuss equal protection under the law.  SB 1062/HB2153, a bill that cleared the Arizona Legislature last month, updates existing Arizona law on the “exercise of religion” and protects businesses, corporations and people from lawsuits if they deny services based on a “sincere” religious belief.  Is Arizona on the “right side of the law” in doing this or is this a bill that was doomed from the beginning?
