Professor Lee Strang discusses the breadth of the natural law tradition, which includes both religious and non-religious thinkers. The basic premises of natural law are rational and don’t require a belief in a divine being.

Lee J. Strang is the John W. Stoepler Professor of Law & Values at the University of Toledo College of Law.
As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
