His writings are dangerous.”—The Village Voice In Jailhouse Lawyers, award-winning journalist and death-row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal presents the stories and reflections of fellow prisoners-turned-advocates who have learned to use the court system to represent other prisoners—many uneducated or illiterate—and, in some cases, to win their freedom.

Download or read book Law Man written by Shon Hopwood and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shon Hopwood was a good kid from a good Nebraska family, a small-town basketball star, whose parents had started a local church. Few who knew him as a friendly teen would have imagined that, shortly after returning home from the Navy, he'd be adrift with few prospects and plotting to rob a bank. But he did, committing five armed bank robberies before being apprehended. Only twenty-three and potentially facing twelve years in a federal prison in Illinois, Shon feared his life was already over. He'd shamed himself, and his loving family and friends, and a part of him wanted to die. He wasn't sure at first if he'd survive the prison gangs, but slowly glimmers of hope appeared. He earned some respect on the prison basketball court, received a steady flow from hometown well-wishers, including a note from a special girl whom he'd thought too beautiful to ever pay him notice-and, most crucially, he secured a job in the prison law library. It was an assignment that would prove his salvation. Poring over the library's thick volumes, Shon discovered he had a knack for the law and he soon became the go-to guy for inmates seeking legal help. Then came a request to write a complex petition to the U.S. Supreme Court-a high-wire act of jailhouse lawyering that had not often met with success. By the time Shon walked out of prison, he'd pulled off a series of legal miracles, earned the undying gratitude of countless inmates, won the woman of his dreams, and built a new life for himself far greater than anything he could've imagined.A story that mixes moments of high adrenaline with moments of deep poignancy, Law Man is a powerful reminder that even the worst mistakes can be redeemed through faith, hard work, and the love and support of others.

This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 1071 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

It addresses both pretrial and post-conviction incarceration, presenting Supreme Court and leading lower court case law, statutes, litigation materials, professional standards, academic commentary, and prisoner writing.

Book Synopsis Redeeming Justice by : Jarrett Adams
Download or read book Redeeming Justice written by Jarrett Adams and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A moving and beautifully crafted memoir.”—SCOTT TUROW “A daring act of justified defiance.”—SHAKA SENGHOR “Nothing less than heroic.”—JOHN GRISHAM He was seventeen when an all-white jury sentenced him to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Now a pioneering lawyer, he recalls the journey that led to his exoneration—and inspired him to devote his life to fighting the many injustices in our legal system. Seventeen years old and facing nearly thirty years behind bars, Jarrett Adams sought to figure out the why behind his fate. Sustained by his mother and aunts who brought him back from the edge of despair through letters of prayer and encouragement, Adams became obsessed with our legal system in all its damaged glory. After studying how his constitutional rights to effective counsel had been violated, he solicited the help of the Wisconsin Innocence Project, an organization that exonerates the wrongfully convicted, and won his release after nearly ten years in prison. But the journey was far from over. Adams took the lessons he learned through his incarceration and worked his way through law school with the goal of helping those who, like himself, had faced our legal system at its worst. After earning his law degree, he worked with the New York Innocence Project, becoming the first exoneree ever hired by the nonprofit as a lawyer. In his first case with the Innocence Project, he argued before the same court that had convicted him a decade earlier—and won. In this illuminating story of hope and full-circle redemption, Adams draws on his life and the cases of his clients to show the racist tactics used to convict young men of color, the unique challenges facing exonerees once released, and how the lack of equal representation in our courts is a failure not only of empathy but of our collective ability to uncover the truth. Redeeming Justice is an unforgettable firsthand account of the limits—and possibilities—of our country’s system of law.
