NYU Reads is a university-wide initiative to bring the New York University community together around a single common reading, chosen by a University committee composed of faculty, student, and administrator representatives. The book describes the compelling story of NYU School of Law Professor and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative Bryan Stevenson and his efforts to fight for the freedom of wrongfully imprisoned people.
About the book:
“Bryan Stevenson is America’s young Nelson Mandela, a brilliant lawyer fighting with courage and conviction to guarantee justice for all. Just Mercy should be read by people of conscience in every civilized country in the world to discover what happens when revenge and retribution replace justice and mercy. It is as gripping to read as any legal thriller, and what hangs in the balance is nothing less than the soul of a great nation.”
