Abstract
Restorative justice (“RJ”) processes typically envision the prospect of voluntary participation by those who suffered harm, by those who caused the harm, and often by the community or communities of people who surround them. When one or more of these potential participants opts not to participate, RJ processes often adapt to provide as many of the restorative benefits as possible to those who do choose to participate. This Article asks what, if any, adaptations of RJ processes may be appropriate in contexts in which some or all of the people listed above cannot participate, because they are now dead.
