Error without Malice: Seeking Justice Through Journalism and International Human Rights Law
Throughout his varying roles and disciplines, professor Ed Carter has wrestled with questions surrounding justice.
On March 4, Carter’s Faith and Works lecture “Error without Malice: Seeking Justice Through Journalism and International Human Rights Law” will address timely questions on justice.
“A big part of our effort to merit the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ for justification
and sanctification is to listen to the Holy Ghost guiding us to do justly, love mercy,
judge righteously and be humble in doing so,” said Carter.
