Bryan Stevenson was a attorney when he founded the Equivalent Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the indegent, the wrongly condemned, and females and children captured in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first situations was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was simply sentenced to pass away 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 changed his understanding of mercy and justice permanently.

Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted youthful lawyer’s coming of age, a moving windows into the lives of those he has defended, and an uplifting discussion for compassion in the quest for true justice.
