It was interesting to hear the views of two lawyers who write - how do they assess their own influence through their literary work? Both agreed that literature can make a major contribution to coming to terms with the past.

Books provide a pleasant space for what was, what would have been, what could have been - without having to judge.<\/p><p>According to Schlink, the law supports both remembering and forgetting in equal measure. Both can be traumatic. It is therefore important to ask oneself: <strong>What can the law achieve? How do we want to remember past injustice?<\/strong><br \/>Court proceedings play a decisive role in the process of reparation, Sands continues. And since more people read novels than court rulings, it is important to reflect on how literature and jurisprudence can be combined: <strong>\"Whats the relationship between a trial and a novel?\"<\/strong><\/p><p>Sands, born in London as the son of a Jewish immigrant family, pursued a career for his work \"<strong>Back to Lviv<\/strong>\" (2016) followed the traces of his ancestors and linked them with the story of two lawyers who had a decisive influence on modern international law. In contrast to non-fictional texts, fiction has the ability to make the past accessible to readers through personal connections and to open the door to complex jurisprudence, according to Sands. He was Chairman of English PEN from 2018 to 2023 and this also underlines his stance: it is important to write about justice! Trials are only one aspect of this. However, the principle of truthfulness applies and authors must not ignore historical sources, adds Bernhard Schlink.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6e4b6fb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6e4b6fb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4bb5d67\" data-id=\"4bb5d67\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec334ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ec334ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>G\u00e9raldine Schwarz skillfully links the authors' biographies, especially their legal careers, with their oeuvre.
