Abstract

What is the place of apology in law? What is the meaning of apology in a complex landscape of meanings based on a socio-legal appreciation of legal concepts? This special issue explores the place of apology in the legal system within three broad inter-related themes: the meaning of apologies; the effectiveness of laws protecting apologies and the role of apologies as remedy, redress and reparation. The articles focus on apologies within the legal system and encompass what happens when a person apologises and how the legal system responds to that apology, the impact of an apology and its use in the criminal justice system and on civil liability, how this differs across different legal systems and societies, and what legal systems can learn from sociology, philosophy, psychology and economics in relation to apology.

¿Cuál es el lugar de la disculpa en el derecho? ¿Cuál es el significado de la disculpa en el complejo paisaje de significados basado en una comprensión sociojurídica de los conceptos jurídicos? Este número analiza el lugar de la disculpa en el sistema legal, a partir de tres temas generales interrelacionados: el significado de las disculpas; la efectividad de las leyes que protegen las disculpas y el papel de las disculpas como remedio, compensación y reparación. Los artículos se centran en las disculpas dentro del sistema jurídico e incluyen qué ocurre cuando una persona pide perdón, y cómo el sistema jurídico responde a esa disculpa, el impacto de una disculpa y su uso en el sistema de justicia penal, y en la responsabilidad civil, cuáles son las diferencias entre los diferentes sistemas legales y sociedades, y qué pueden aprender los sistemas jurídicos de la sociología, filosofía, psicología y economía, en lo que respecta a las disculpas.
