Edwin Kagin
National Legal Director for American Atheists
Edwin Kagin will discuss legal cases from American Atheists, the ACLU, FFRF, and Americans United for Separation of Church and State. He will address why some cases are successful, why some fail, the new tactic of cases being dismissed on lack of standing (FFRF National Day of Prayer case, AU Arizona School Voucher case), and the future legal direction of American Atheists and church-state separation cases.

He was an outstanding speaker. Hearing what Kagin had to say was very thought provoking!

I had a great time. Mr. Kagin is highly skilled and knowledgeable on all aspects of the legal/political landscape surrounding "Church-State" issues. We are lucky to have him leading AA in these very challenging times.
I also enjoyed meeting many group members for the first time. My only regret is that I was unable to speak with everyone I wished to as I became engaged in interesting conversation with the ones I did meet. I guess you can't just Meetup once. I'll try and make it to another gathering next time I'm in town.

This was my first meeting, so my impressions are as a new kid on the block. I appreciated our speakers breadth of knowledge and his humor. My experience was positive, and I look forward to the next meeting.

Hey Blair! Aren't you out of Birmingham? JJ here, from Nashville. I'll be there with my nephew. I'd like to catch Ed swinging through Nashville. Secular Life is over 750 members and Nashville Atheists has passed 550. I suspect Mr. Kagin could attract a large turnout....with a little promotion from...well, me.
