The "arresting, astonishing history" of one lawyer and his defendant who together achieved a "civil rights milestone" (Justin Driver).

In 1966 in a small town in Louisiana, a 19-year-old black man named Gary Duncan pulled his car off the road to stop a fight. Duncan was arrested a few minutes later for the crime of putting his hand on the arm of a white child. Rather than accepting his fate, Duncan found Richard Sobol, a brilliant, 29-year-old lawyer from New York who was the only white attorney at "the most radical law firm" in New Orleans. Against them stood one of the most powerful white supremacists in the South, a man called simply "The Judge."

In this powerful work of character-driven history, journalist Matthew Van Meter vividly brings alive how a seemingly minor incident brought massive, systemic change to the criminal justice system. Using first-person interviews, in-depth research and a deep knowledge of the law, Van Meter shows how Gary Duncan's insistence on seeking justice empowered generations of defendants-disproportionately poor and black-to demand fair trials. Duncan v. Louisiana changed American law, but first it changed the lives of those who litigated it.

OBSESSED!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Pattern Name: Omega 3
I have been having such a hard time with my acne flare ups and trying all these new facial routines and face washed did nothing for me. Until I had discover this and it has made my mood and acne so much better! (Very much effective) The pill size is kind of big and you do have to take 2 of them daily. But other than that the ingredients are all natural (which is what I wanted). Definitely affordable and will be purchasing again!!

Yup. Good stuff. No alcohol. No bite of any ingredients. Works great to slowly wake up a very dry mouth. But the dry relief is instant.
