Webinar:<\/em>\u00a0Does Restorative Justice Need Forgiveness?: A dialogue with Sujatha Baliga<\/h4>\n

\"\"On January 5,\u00a0The New York Times Magazine<\/em>\u00a0carried a story<\/a>\u00a0about the use of a restorative conference in a murder case in the early stages of the legal process, prior to a plea. The case was also highlighted on theToday Show<\/em><\/a>\u00a0a few days later. The story was entitled, \u201cCan forgiveness play a role in criminal justice?\u201d (See the story on\u00a0EMU\u00a0News:\u00a0\u201cCoverage in NY Times and\u00a0NBC\u00a0Sparks\u00a0EMU\u00a0Webinar on Restorative Justice\u201d<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Conferences like the one highlighted in that article are sometimes used prior to formal prosecution in \u201clesser\u201d cases, and victim-offender dialogues are now common post-sentencing. However, a conference to negotiate a plea in a murder case is highly unusual.<\/p>\n

How did this case unfold? What can restorative justice practitioners learn from this pioneering case? What is the relationship between forgiveness and restorative justice? How do we relate to the media on these issues?<\/p>\n

Sujatha Baliga<\/strong><\/a>, the lawyer and restorative justice practitioner who facilitated this process, will be our guest for this webinar.\u00a0Howard Zehr<\/strong><\/a>, who facilitated the connection between the two families and Sujatha and played a background role in the case, will chair the session. Viewers will be able to submit comments and questions through a chat forum.<\/p>\n

This webinar is intended for restorative justice practitioners but is open to anyone, though a basic knowledge of restorative justice is preferred. For those without that background,\u00a0The Little Book of Restorative Justice<\/a><\/em>\u00a0provides a short introduction.<\/p>\n
