An amazing genuine anecdote about the potential
for benevolence to reclaim us, and a clarion call to fix our messed up
arrangement of equity—from one of the most splendid and persuasive attorneys
within recent memory.
Bryan Stevenson was a youthful legal advisor
when he established the Equal Justice Initiative, a legitimate practice devoted
to guarding those most edgy and out of luck: poor people, the wrongly
denounced, and ladies and youngsters caught in the most distant spans of our
criminal equity framework. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian,
a young fellow who was condemned to pass on for an infamous homicide he
demanded he didn't submit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of connivance,
political plot, and legitimate brinksmanship—and changed his comprehension of
kindness and equity until the end of time.
Just Mercy is on the double an extraordinary
record of a hopeful, talented youthful legal counselor's transitioning, a
moving window into the lives of those he has protected, and a moving contention
for empathy in the quest for genuine equity.
