As Robert Schopp points out, some have suggested that therapeutic jurisprudence may provide a useful structure for restorative justice. Yet this suggestion has not been followed with detailed discussion of the proposed integration of therapeutic jurisprudence with restorative justice. Hence, Schopp in this paper clarifies and examines some potentially interesting aspects of such an integration. Toward this end, he sketches certain key features of both therapeutic jurisprudence and restorative justice. Schopp also considers potential applications of therapeutic jurisprudence to restorative justice.
