John Grisham is one of the most widely read authors in the world and a leading voice on issues of justice and wrongful conviction. A former lawyer, Grisham has written more than 50 novels, many of which explore the flaws, failures, and moral complexities of the American legal system. His books have been translated into dozens of languages and have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide, with numerous adaptations for film and television.
Beyond his literary success, Grisham has become a prominent advocate for criminal justice reform. He is deeply involved in innocence work and has written several nonfiction books — including The Innocent Man and Framed — that examine wrongful convictions and the systemic failures that allow them to occur. Through his writing and advocacy, Grisham has helped bring national attention to cases of injustice and has played a role in securing exonerations for individuals wrongly imprisoned.
