Steven Gey

Steven Gey is an American legal academic and one of the leading U.S. Scholars on religious liberties and free speech. He is presently David and Deborah Fonvielle and Donald and Janet Hinkle Professor at Florida State University College of Law. His scholarship includes "Cases and Materials on Religion and the State" (Lexis-Michie 2001) and dozens of articles on religious liberties, free speech, and constitutional interpretation. Professor Gey has been an active participant in national debates regarding the teaching of evolution in public schools and he served as a regular commentator on legal issues for ABC News in the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election. In 2007, he received the "Friend of Darwin Award" from the National Center for Science Education, recognizing his tireless advocacy for the teaching of science in schools.

In 2006, he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ("ALS", sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease, Maladie de Charcot or motor neurone disease) -- a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by the degeneration of motor neurons.
