February 2012 MLA Series: The Quality of Mercy

MLA SEMINAR SERIES  - The Quality of Mercy  Every Saturday in February - Free and open to the public.  Seating is limited.

Last year’s series examined “The Value of Justice”; this year we turn our attention to justice’s frequent partner,  complement, or antithesis: Mercy. 
Thank you for joining us as we considered the concept and practice of mercy from several disciplinary directions, including politics, medicine, religious studies, and literature.
