Number one New York Times best seller

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, as seen in the HBO documentary True Justice.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx

Named one of the Best Books of the Year by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Seattle Times, Esquire, and 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.

An American Library Association Notable Book

"Every bit as moving as To Kill a Mockingbird, 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." (David Cole, The New York Review of Books

"Searing, moving... Bryan Stevenson may, indeed, be America's Mandela." (Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times)

"You don't have to read too long to start cheering for this man.... The message of this book...is that evil can be overcome, a difference can be made. Just Mercy will make you upset and it will make you hopeful." (Ted Conover, The New York Times Book Review)

"Inspiring... a work of style, substance and clarity... Stevenson is not only a great lawyer, he's also a gifted writer and storyteller." (The Washington Post)

"As deeply moving, poignant and powerful a book as has been, and maybe ever can be, written about the death penalty." (The Financial Times)

"Brilliant." (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
