Supreme Court Oral Argument on Religious Organization Employees & Discrimination Claims
1 hour, 39 minutesThe Supreme Court heard oral argument via teleconference due to the coronavirus pandemic. The case involves religious freedom and whether federal courts have a role in discrimination cases filed by employees employed by a religious institution. Under federal employment discrimination law, federal courts cannot take up discrimination claims from ministers against their religious employers. This is often referred to as the ministerial exception. This legal doctrine aims to ensure religious freedom in that religious institutions cannot be sued by employees who perform religious duties. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that a teacher employed at a religious school could be considered a minister, but under certain guidelines. Both of schools in this consolidated oral argument are Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. In 2013, Kristen Biel was hired to teach fifth grade at the St. James School.
