'Simply, utterly brilliant. Bursting with humility and humanity' The Secret Barrister

In Doing Justice he takes us inside America's criminal justice system to deliver a powerful meditation on justice – what it is, who dispenses it, how it works – and what the law can teach us about thinking and acting justly in our own lives.

The book details the thoughts of an intelligent man dedicated to the public good. That makes it well worth reading and the fact that it is also an impressively well written tour de force makes it a pleasure to read as well.
