Protecting conscientious objection

September 11, 2010
Jacobrown v. Romo

Toby Jacobrown is a young Quaker who has refused to register with the Selective Service System – which is a felony – because it will not officially record his claim of conscientious objector status. We argue that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act exempts him from registering for the draft unless the Selective Service System will record his C.O. claim when he registers.
