Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption

Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson is a #1 New York Times bestseller and now a major motion picture starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx. This powerful true story highlights the redemptive potential of mercy while exposing the injustices within the American criminal justice system.

Stevenson, a brilliant lawyer and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, dedicated his career to defending the most marginalized: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and vulnerable women and children. One of his first high-profile cases involved Walter McMillian, a man sentenced to death for a murder he didn’t commit. Through this case, Stevenson confronts conspiracy, political manipulation, and systemic injustice, reshaping his understanding of mercy, justice, and humanity.

Just Mercy is simultaneously:

• An unforgettable coming-of-age story of a young lawyer learning the depths of compassion and courage
• A poignant window into the lives of those trapped in a broken legal system
• An inspiring argument for fairness, mercy, and reform in pursuit of true justice

The book has been widely acclaimed and awarded, including the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction, NAACP Image Award for Nonfiction, and recognition as one of CNN’s most influential books of the decade. Critics praise it as a moving, searing indictment of the death penalty and a stirring testament to the power of fighting for the vulnerable.

“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
