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"--Amazon.com. 526 0 $a Reading Counts RC $b High School $c 10. $d 24 $z Quiz: 66246. 586 $a Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction, 2015 Winner 610 20 $a Equal Justice Initiative. 650 0 $a Social reformers $v Biography. 650 0 $a Lawyers $v Biography. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States. 650 7 $a LAW $x Sentencing. $x Sentencing. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x Public Policy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Penology. $2 bisacsh 610 27 $a Equal Justice Initiative. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01932775 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Lawyers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994346 650 7 $a Social reformers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122841 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 610 27 $a UmschulungswerkstaÌtten fuÌr Siedler und Auswanderer $g Bitterfeld $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)10090522-5 650 7 $a Jurist $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4029050-5 650 7 $a Strafverfolgung $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4057803-3 650 7 $a Rassismus $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4076527-1 650 7 $a Todesstrafe $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4060306-4 600 17 $a Stevenson, Bryan. $2 nli 610 27 $a Equal Justice Initiative. $2 nli 650 7 $a Lawyers $z United States $v Biography. $2 nli 650 7 $a Social reformers $z United States $v Biography. $2 nli 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States. $2 nli 650 7 $a Discrimination in criminal justice administration $z United States. $2 nli 650 7 $a Legal assistance to the poor $z United States. $2 nli 650 7 $a United States of America. $2 pplt 650 7 $a Criminal justice. $2 pplt 650 7 $a Lawyers. $2 pplt 650 7 $a Biographies, memoirs and correspondance. $2 pplt 650 7 $a Social reformers $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Lawyers $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Administration of criminal justice $z United States. $2 sears 655 0 $a Autobiographies. 655 4 $a Narrative non-fiction. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4076527-1 655 7 $a Biography. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4060306-4 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stevenson, Bryan. $t Just mercy. $b [First edition] $w (OCoLC)1224353266 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1507/2014430900-s.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1507/2014430900-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1507/2014430900-d.html 856 42 $u http://books.google.com/books?isbn=0812994523 $z Additional Information at Google Books 856 4 $u http://www.randomhousebooks.com 941 $a 6 $n 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240124133041.0 $n 10 952 $l POSX851 $d 20220919100706.0 $n 4 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20210802134048.0 $n 17 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20210708100338.0 $n 8 952 $l FWPE284 $d 20210614140843.0 $n 10 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210601112221.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2C0528B6AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
