Merciful Judgments and Contemporary Society: Legal Problems, Legal Possibilities
Sarat, Austin (Amherst College, Massachusetts)
Explores the tension between law's need for and dependence on merciful judgments and suspicions that regularly accompany them. Rather than focusing primarily on definitional questions or the longstanding debate about the moral worth and importance of mercy, this book focuses on mercy as a part of, and problem for, law.
