Just pursuit
a black prosecutor's fight for fairness
Book - 2022
"When Laura Coates joined the Department of Justice as a prosecutor, she wanted to advocate for the most vulnerable among us. She quickly realized that even with the best intentions, being black, a woman, and a mother are identities often at odds in the justice system. Coates saw how black communities are policed differently, prosecuted differently, and judged differently. She witnessed how others in the system either abused power or were abused by it. In exploring the tension between the idealism of the law and the reality of working within the parameters of our flawed legal system, Coates exposes the chasm between what is right and what is lawful"--Adapted from the book jacket
