<b><b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER - <b>NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MICHAEL B. JORDAN AND JAMIE FOXX - A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix our broken system of justice--from one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time. <p/> " Bryan Stevenson's] dedication to fighting for justice and equality has inspired me and many others and made a lasting impact on our country."<b>--John Legend</b> <p/><b>NAMED ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY CNN</b> - Named One of the Best Books of the Year by <i>The New York Times - The Washington Post - The Boston Globe - The Seattle Times - Esquire - Time</i></b><br></b></b><br> 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. <p/> <i>Just Mercy </i>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. <p/><b>Winner of the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction - Winner of the NAACP Image Award for Nonfiction - Winner of a Books for a Better Life Award - Finalist for the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> Book Prize - Finalist for the <i>Kirkus Reviews </i>Prize - An American Library Association Notable Book</b> <p/>"Every bit as moving as <i>To Kill a Mockingbird, </i>and in some ways more so . . . a searing indictment of American criminal justice and a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerable sometimes yields."<b>--David Cole, <i>The New York Review of Books</i></b> <p/> "Searing, moving . . .
