Karamah: Muslim Women Lawyers for Human Rights

In 1998, KARAMAH co-sponsored the second Religion and the Law Conference at Fordham Law School, entitled "The Relevance of Religion to a Lawyer’s Work." Other co-sponsors included the Jewish Theological Seminary and Union Theological Seminary. Several volunteers from KARAMAH’s MuslimJD List participated in the conference. The proceedings have been published in the FORDHAM LAW REVIEW.

The MuslimJD List was a KARAMAH-generated e-mail list of Muslim lawyers (male and female) that developed into The National Association of Muslim Lawyers (NAML). (See item 2 in these archives.)

The first conference was held in June 1997, and featured several Muslim speakers, including Professor Azizah al-Hibri of KARAMAH.
