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.
