Holly Hollman is general counsel and associate executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty in Washington, D.C., where she provides legal analysis of church-state issues that arise before Congress and the courts through publications, speaking engagements, and congressional testimony. Professor Hollman leads the organization’s amicus involvement in religious liberty cases, including more than 35 amicus briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts since 2001. She regularly consults with the media and makes presentations at conferences, congressional staff briefings, educational institutions, and denominational gatherings.
