This amicus letter was written to support a Petition for Writ of Mandamus where a Plaintiff’s lawsuit was barred based on the ecclesiastical abstention doctrine. Includes issue of whether a private school with a religious sounding name and/or loose religious affiliation can rely on the religious freedom provision of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to avoid a civil court’s jurisdiction even though the school touts itself as secular, promises a secular education, does not teach or ascribe to a particular religion, and the conduct at issue in the case has nothing to do with religion.
