Lessons From The Past: Revenge Yesterday And Today Symposium, Tamar Frankel
Lessons From The Past: Revenge Yesterday And Today Symposium, Tamar Frankel
Faculty Scholarship
Professor Seipp's Paper transports us to the Middle Ages to discover a society that views crime and tort quite differently from the way we view these categories today. Yet our discovery of that society offers a perspective about our own. In Professor Seipp's world the victim of a wrong had a choice: demand revenge by determining how the wrongdoer would be punished, or demand monetary compensation.
