📒Just Mercy Adapted For Young Adults ✍ Bryan A. Stevenson
✏Just Mercy Adapted for Young Adults Book Summary : In this young adult adaptation of the acclaimed bestselling Just Mercy, which the New York Times calls "as compelling as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so," Bryan Stevenson delves deep into the broken U.S. justice system, detailing from his personal experience his many challenges and efforts as a lawyer and social advocate, especially on behalf of America's most rejected and marginalized people. In this very personal work--proceeds of which will go to charity--Bryan Stevenson recounts many and varied stories of his work as a lawyer in the U.S. criminal justice system on behalf of those in society who have experienced some type of discrimination and/or have been wrongly accused of a crime and who deserve a powerful advocate and due justice under the law. Through the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), an organization Stevenson founded as a young lawyer and for which he currently serves as Executive Director, this important work continues. EJI strives to end mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, working to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society. "A deeply moving collage of true stories . . . .This is required reading." --Kirkus, Starred Review Praise for Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption: "Important and compelling." --Pulitzer Prize-winning author TRACY KIDDER "Gripping. . . . What hangs in the balance is nothing less than the soul of a great nation." --DESMOND TUTU, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate "An inspiring and powerful story." --#1 New York Times bestselling author JOHN GRISHAM
📒Just Mercy ✍ Bryan Stevenson
✏Just Mercy Book Summary : WINNER OF THE 2015 ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION WINNER OF THE 2015 DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE WINNER OF THE NAACP IMAGE AWARD FOR BEST NON-FICTION A powerful, bold true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix America’s broken system of justice — from one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time. The US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. The prison population has increased from 300,000 in the early 1970s to more than two million now. One in every 15 people is expected to go to prison. For black men, the most incarcerated group in America, this figure rises to one out of every three. Bryan Stevenson grew up a member of a poor black community in the racially segregated South. He 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 the US’s criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young black 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, startling racial inequality, and legal brinksmanship — and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever. Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted lawyer’s coming of age, a moving portrait of the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of justice. PRAISE FOR BRYAN STEVENSON ‘Unfairness in the justice system is a major theme of our age … This book brings new life to the story by placing it in two affecting contexts: Stevenson's life work and the deep strain of racial injustice in American life … You don't have to read too long to start cheering for this man. Against tremendous odds, Stevenson has worked to free scores of people from wrongful or excessive punishment, arguing five times before the Supreme Court … The book extols not his nobility, but that of the cause, and reads like a call to action for all that remains to be done … The message of the book, hammered home by dramatic examples of one man's refusal to sit quietly and countenance horror, is that evil can be overcome, a difference can be made. Just Mercy will make you upset and it will make you hopeful … Bryan Stevenson has been angry about [the criminal justice system] for years, and we are all the better for it.’ The New York Times ‘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

📒Summary Of Just Mercy ✍ Abookaday
✏Summary of Just Mercy Book Summary : Warning This is an independent addition to Just Mercy, meant to enhance your experience of the original book. If you have not yet bought the original copy, make sure to purchase it before buying this unofficial summary from aBookaDay. This review of Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, by Bryan Stevenson, provides a chapter by chapter detailed summary followed by an analysis and critique of the strengths and weaknesses of the book. The main theme explored in the book is the injustice of our criminal justice system. The author uses the case of Walter McMillian's wrongful conviction of murder and imprisonment as an overarching example of how the U.S. justice system does not prosecute fairly. The author focuses on how race, socioeconomic status, and even age have an effect on how certain criminals are convicted. Stevenson uses his personal experience as a lawyer for the Equal Justice Initiative and more than 25 years fighting for the rights of people who could not afford legal counsel as a basis for this novel. Through his own experiences, the author makes the case that it is often the people on the fringe of society who need proper justice and mercy, and yet, they are the ones who are least likely to receive it. By sharing his own case work, the author demonstrates how unjust death penalty convictions have been over the past fifty years and how hard it is to truly make change in the system. The central thesis of the work is that we are more than the worst things we have done. Yet, we live in a country that will, on the basis of one poor choice or decision, condemn a person to life in prison, or worse, death. Even further, law enforcement often targets those who have neither the money nor education to fight back, and this has had a direct correlation to the rise in mass incarceration over the past century. The author's purpose is to shine a light on this and bring about the kind of change that uses mercy as its own form of justice. Bryan Stevenson is a lawyer, social justice activist, and the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. He attended Eastern University and graduated in 1981. After that he attended Harvard Law School where he found his career calling by working for the Southern Center for Human Rights. He has since traveled the country, working for EJI, and speaking about the politics and social injustice of the prison system and death penalty.

On the opposite side is their tough-as-nails older sister who vehemently believes that death is the only way justice will be served. In the center is Bernadette, who is deeply ambivalent and longs for a resolution that will help her family move forward. After Raelynn receives a last-minute stay of execution, a secret is revealed that changes everything and leads to an unlikely bond between Raelynn and Bernadette.
