"This is a must read for anyone interested in the criminal justice system or the law. It’s a difficult read in the sense you get angry over the injustices that occur but it’s vital that we are aware of what occurs in our legal system. It inspires readers to want to become advocates for change."
- Tori Nelson

About Just Mercy 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.
The book has been adapted into a movie starring Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx, and Brie Larson. It is available to watch on HBO Max.
