Extract
This Comment, based on a review of other exemptions, concludes that enacting legislation to accommodate civil servants while still providing equal service to all members of the public would be both the most effective method of accommodation and the method most likely to be enacted by legislatures. The current methods of accommodation provide little protection for conscientious objectors because legislatures enact them infrequently and courts interpret them narrowly.
