520    "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"--|cProvided
