Just Mercy

In this very personal work--proceeds of which will go to charity--Bryan Stevenson recounts his many and varied experiences working as a lawyer in the criminal justice system on behalf of those in society who have experienced some type of discrimination and/or have been wrongly accused of a crime and who deserve a powerful advocate and due justice under the law. Stevenson continues important work as a founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, an organization committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States. The organization challenges racial and economic injustice, and works to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.
