For governments that sponsor holiday displays with religious symbols, the resulting litigation can be costly. If the court concludes that the challenged display violates the Constitution, the government must pay the plaintiff’s costs and attorney fees. And even longstanding displays can be challenged—mere tradition is not a defense.","PeriodicalId":41184,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Property Planning and Environmental Law","volume":"110 1","pages":"4 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76445455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
