Justin's newest book, co-authored with Zach Anthony Brooks, examines how the U.S. criminal legal system punishes millions of people who are never convicted of a crime. Tracing practices from the Red Scare through modern civil forfeiture and beyond, it challenges readers to reconsider the balance between government power and individual liberty.

A clear-eyed, meticulously researched look at the systemic causes of wrongful convictions — and a compelling call to action for reform. Drawing on his 25 years of innocence work, Justin reveals how and why innocent people end up behind bars, and what we can do to prevent it.

The leading law school casebook on wrongful convictions, now in its fourth edition. Used in law schools across the country, this comprehensive text covers the causes of wrongful conviction, the process of exoneration, and the policy reforms needed to protect the innocent.
