A towering and beloved figure in legal scholarship, Martha Minow
explores the complicated intersection between law, justice and
forgiveness, asking whether law should encourage individuals to
forgive and when the courts, public officials and specific laws
should forgive. Examining these questions through sometimes
troubling cases with compassion and acumen, Minow acknowledges that
there are grounds for both individuals and societies to withhold
forgiveness but argues that there are also many places where
letting go of justified grievances can make law more just, not
less. This type of lawful forgiveness might also nudge individuals
and societies towards the respect and generosity that comes with
apology and restitution. Forgiveness does not change the past but
it does enlarge the future.
