The topic of apology is once again in the news in a big

Restorative
Justice on TV-- Here's an opportunity to see restorative
justice in action. Premiering Wed. Sept 19 on Court TV
10PM ET/PT--A Texas family comes face to face with a
killer 15 years after the crime. Puts a human face on
the Victim- Offender Mediation/Dialogue
In The Power of Apology I wrote that
Massachusetts had passed a bill allowing people to say
“I’m sorry” at the scene of an accident without
having to worry about being held liable for the
accident. Since that writing, a total of five states
have now passed what is entitled the “Benevolent
Gesture Act.” (Caution:
The bill only protects a person who says they are sorry,
however, not if they say the accident was their fault).
