The classes are being taught at Chabad centers, hotels and legal offices, and Mintz said a few judges are even making their chambers available for the class during lunch. So far more than 8,000 students have registered to take the class, and JLI expects that it will easily exceed its record of 10,000 students.

Rabbi Moshe Bryski of Conejo Jewish Academy said he's looking forward to challenging students to connect ancient texts to modern problems. The course, which is being taught in the Conejo Valley by Judge Frank Johnson and attorney Steve Fenster, has inspired Bryski to consider developing more classes for litigators that link secular and religious law.

"I would like to look at Supreme Court cases in the future, especially where Judaic law was mentioned and how it was used in showing differences," he said.
