handle is hein.journals/udetmr77 and id is 313 raw text is: Research Of Jewish Law Issues: A Basic Guide And Bibliography For Students And Practitioners CHAD BARUCH* AND KARSTEN LOKKEN** I. INTRODUCTION The past twenty years have witnessed a resurgence of interest in Jewish law by American law students, attorneys, scholars, and judges. Students turn to Jewish law with increasing regularity for writing top- ics,' and growing interest in Jewish law has led to the establishment of courses in that field at numerous American law schools. In addition to a plethora of recent articles focusing directly on analysis of Jewish law,3 scholars also cite provisions of Jewish law for historical back- ground and rhetorical effect.4 Editor's note: At the authors' request and in respect of the authors' religious beliefs, the term G-D is used throughout the article. *BA (Political Science), University of Minnesota; J.D., University of Minnesota Law School.
