Description: On January 9, 2008 the ACLU Women's Rights Project, Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief, and the ACLU of Pennsylvania filed an amicus brief in a case concerning the right of a Muslim woman to cover her hair while working as a police officer. The brief documents a wide range of police, public safety, and military organizations across the country and around the world that recognize that they may maintain the uniformity of appearance necessary to function effectively while permitting individual officers to wear clothing and to deviate from grooming regulations when the officers do so as part of a religious practice.
