Historic Trial – Highest Military Court
The highest court in the U.S. Military heard arguments on Wednesday that could affect religious freedom for decades to come.
In the case United States v. Sterling, First Liberty attorneys and former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement represented Lance Corporal (LCpl) Monifa Sterling, a Marine court-martialed over a Bible verse in 2013.
Sterling’s religious expression was denied protection under the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) at her court-martial in 2013, and again at her appeal before the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals in 2015.
The case now awaits judgment from the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF), the “Supreme Court of the U.S. Military,” says First Liberty President Kelly Shackelford. The CAAF heard oral arguments on Wednesday. First Liberty attorneys expect a decision in the summer of this year.
