520    $a A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix our broken system of justicéỚfrom 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 didńỚØt commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanshiṕỚand transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever. ́℗ Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyeŕỚØs 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. ́℗ Praise for Just Mercy ́℗ ́Ơ¿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 God́ỚØs 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.́Ơ̐ư ́ỚJohn Grisham ́℗ ́Ơ¿From the frontlines of social justice comes one of the most urgent voices of our era. Bryan Stevenson is a real-life, modern-day Atticus Finch who, through his work in redeeming innocent people condemned to death, has sought to redeem the country itself. This is a book of great power and courage. It is inspiring and suspensefuĺỚa revelation.́Ơ̐ư ́ỚIsabel Wilkerson, author of The Warmth of Other Suns ́℗ ́Ơ¿Bryan Stevenson is one of my personal heroes, perhaps the most inspiring and influential crusader for justice alive today, and Just Mercy is extraordinary. The stories told within these pages hold the potential to transform what we think we mean when we talk about justice.́Ơ̐ư ́ỚMichelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow ́℗ ́Ơ¿Words such as important and compelling may have lost their force through overuse, but reading this book will restore their meaning, along with onéỚØs hopes for humanity.́Ơ̐ư ́ỚTracy Kidder, author of Mountains Beyond Mountains ́℗ ́Ơ¿Bryan Stevenson is AmericáỚØs young Nelson Mandela, a brilliant lawyer fighting with courage and conviction to guarantee justice for all. Just Mercy should be read by people of conscience in every civilized country in the world to discover what happens when revenge and retribution replace justice and mercy. It is as gripping to read as any legal thriller, and what hangs in the balance is nothing less than the soul of a great nation.́Ơ̐ư ́ỚDesmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.
