Where did Bryan Stevenson work during the summer after his first year in law school?

During the summer after his first year in law school, Bryan Stevenson worked at a Juvenile Justice Project in Philadelphia. This experience was significant for him as it aligned with his emerging passion for justice and advocacy for vulnerable populations, particularly children within the legal system. The role allowed Stevenson to explore the challenges faced by young people caught up in the judicial system and helped set the stage for his future work in criminal justice reform. His time in Philadelphia reflects his commitment to understanding and addressing the systemic issues affecting marginalized communities, which is a central theme in his book, "Just Mercy."

While the other organizations are prominent in the field of civil rights and criminal justice reform, they are not where Stevenson spent that particular summer. Each of these organizations plays a vital role in advocating for justice, but Stevenson's initial hands-on experience with a juvenile justice project was pivotal in shaping his career path.
