Query from a lawyer
A lawyer who's working on an Establishment Clause case asked me this question, and I thought I'd pass it along: I was wondering if you knew ... about any recent cases--on any level--or law review articles that do a particularly good job discussing the current state of the Lemon test. I'm finding--and it seems like courts are finding--very confusing exactly what Agostini did to Lemon and how courts are applying Lemon-Agostini. Any suggestions?

LOL! Sorry. I know this is serious. I feel his/her pain. I have nothing to offer to help. But perhaps it may be of some comfort to the lawyer that at least some of us who consider these matters with some frequency can't be particularly helpful -- or if we are being helpful in some concrete way, we can be pretty sure that others of equal or greater expertise will see it at least 2 other ways.

Re: Query from a lawyer
There is no reason for him to think he can find the holy grail of Lemon. On these issues, litigators have to argue both/and, not either/or.
