#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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.

“[Bryan Stevenson’s] dedication to fighting for justice and equality has inspired me and many others and made a lasting impact on our country.”—John Legend

NAMED ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY CNN • A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE CENTURY

A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Seattle Times, Esquire, 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 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.

Excellent and potentially life changing book. While it’s hard to hear some of the awful stories, I am thankful to have listened to this book. My heart and mind were touched/opened in a new way. The work that Bryan and his team are doing is wonderful. I also really appreciated Bryan’s reading of his own book.

This is one of the best books I’ve read (listened to). Incredibly informative and heartbreaking, knowing how bad things really have been. I am so glad I listened to this one.

An incredibly eye opening book.

If I could have listened to this book in one sitting, I would have. But I listened bit-by-bit by bit, So I could properly take in the vast amount of information shared by the author, lawyer Bryan Stevenson, and and take in the depth of the stories he shares about his experiences and clients. This book is shocking and inspiring. I will most likely listen to it again and have no doubt this book's profound message will continue to sink in over time. Makes me want to go to law school.

A must read!

I had some idea of the inequalities and issues surrounding race and the criminal justice system in the southern US. I've experienced a taste of the prejudices myself as a young man in transit from Mexico to Canada via Texas. I wasn't prepared for some of the more egregious injustices mentioned in this book. Women sentenced to death after the birth of a stillborn child because an incompetent medical examiner felt the child might have had a heart beat when born? a moving and powerful testimony.

REALLY?

The message, the different cases, the different people. Just an amazing story of how much change 1 man can bring to a world of injustice.

10/10 should be mandatory for everyone to read
