ArticlePublisher: 2001American Political Science Review 95, 4, p. 777-792Abstract: Justice is, in part, a form of remembrance: memory occupies a vital place an the heart of justice and its struggle to keep the victims, crimes, and perpetrators among the unforgotten. I argue that this memory-justice at once informs core judicial practices and ranges byond then in a manner that leaves judicial closure incomplete. It reminds us of a duty to keep crimes and their victms from the oblivion of forgetting, of a duty to restore, preserve, and acknowledge the just order of the world. Yet, in the shadow of remebrance, other human goods can wither, doods located in the temporal registers of present and futue. This latter lesson is important, but it is one with which we are familiar. I emphasize anohter, with which we are perhaps less at home: the intimacy of memory`s bond with justice, no as obsessional or as a syndrome, but as a face of justice itself
