Clemency & Capital Punishment Web Cast Tomorrow

Ohio State University Moritz College of Law is
hosting a live webcast on Friday, April 22, on
clemency and the executive's power to spare
life or let someone die.

Amherst ProfessorAustin Sarat will present
the Schwartz Lecture on Dispute Resolution,
entitled Mercy, Clemency, and Capital
Punishment: Two Accounts. Sarat will
examine two examples of how "governors use
rhetoric and narrative in coping with the
decision to spare a life or let someone die,
and how they explain or justify their use of
this extraordinary power."

Webcast information may be found on the
OSU Moritz College of Law web site.
