In Fear of Too Much Justice, legendary defense attorney Stephen B. Bright and legal scholar James Kwak offer a heart-wrenching overview of how the criminal legal system fails to live up to the values of equality and justice espoused in the U.S. Constitution, and instead perpetuates the legacy of racism and white supremacy in this country.  Their book is brimming with accounts of the experiences of the poor and disenfranchised that provide a harrowing survey of the failures of the criminal court system, particularly in the American South.  We are delighted to be able to speak with Bright and Kwak, whose lives and work embody their commitment to equal justice for all.
