Helen Norton, JD, a visiting assistant professor at the School of Law, said the employment law regarding conscience-based refusals is governed by Title XII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which requires employers to reasonably accommodate workers’ sincere religious beliefs unless that would create an undue hardship.
