A Story of Justice and Redemption. New York Times Bestseller | Named one of the Best Books of the Year by The New York Times "¢ The Washington Post "¢ The Boston Globe "¢ The Seattle Times "¢ Esquire "¢ Time. A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix our broken system of justice"”from one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time
Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn"™t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship"”and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.
Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer"™s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.
"Every bit as moving as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so . . . a searing indictment of American criminal justice and a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerable sometimes yields.""”David Cole, The New York Review of Books
"Not since Atticus Finch has a fearless and committed lawyer made such a difference in the American South. Though larger than life, Atticus exists only in fiction. Bryan Stevenson, however, is very much alive and doing God"™s work fighting for the poor, the oppressed, the voiceless, the vulnerable, the outcast, and those with no hope. Just Mercy is his inspiring and powerful story.""”John Grisham
