THE FEAR OF TOO MUCH JUSTICE
When a legendary lawyer and a legal scholar reveal the structural failures that undermine justice in our criminal courts, the result is an absolute MUST READ aptly named The Fear of Too Much Justice. While this is not the first book for authors Stephen Bright and James Kwak, it is their first collaboration that offers a heart-wrenching overview of how the criminal legal system fails to live up to the values of equality and justice. “- their goals are to protect the poor and innocent, expose the truth behind capital punishment and wrongful convictions, and call out corrupt prosecutors and incompetent judges, along with any other bad actors who have ruined our system”. – John Grisham
