WHAT Justice, Mercy and Law: from revenge to forgiveness in the History of Law, Conference and Call for papers
WHEN December 13-16, 2016
WHERE Catedra Inocentio III, Murcia, Spain
The main purpose of the Law has been to accomplish the Justice. However, the administration of the Justice has not always met the current models of the public justice, but it has greatly changed over the centuries. Likewise, the Justice has been understood in many ways, with predominance of the points of view that tend to comprehend it in a retributive way. On the other hand, the Justice has been understood as a way of repentance and expiation of the criminal sin, sometimes turned into a religious sin.
For such purposes, we call on interested researchers to submit papers related to the figure of Innocent III from the standpoint of law in general, Canon Law, Philosophy, Theology, History of Institutions, Roman Law, Comparative Law, Art History, History, Sociology, Historiography and any other discipline that can shed light on the subject proposed, being the following:
Program

b. The legal process: Civil Justice and Ecclesiastical Justice.
c. The imposition and compliance of the sentence.
2. Private Justice
