Advocate for your rights and participate in your freedoms! In no nonsense language, Cultivating Justice breaks down America's Constitutional rights by telling unforgettable true stories of young people who grew our legal landscape. This book gives practical and legal significance to case examples, inviting people to continue to define justice.
Guided by Lady Justice, who cuts to the truth with her sword, is blindfolded against prejudices, and weighs the inequities in her scales, this book shows us that one voice can make a difference. It provides hope in American jurisprudence instead of despair, empathy instead of anger, and a course of action in place of apathy.
