Richard Jaffe's explosive second edition of Quest for Justice: Defending the Damned affirms the vital role criminal defense lawyers play in the balance between life and death, liberty and lockup. It is a compelling journey into the legal and human drama of life or death criminal cases that often reads more like hard to imagine fiction, yet these cases are real. Quest for Justice invites readers into the courtroom and into the field with Richard Jaffe, a powerhouse Alabama defense attorney with more than four decades of experience, who has successfully defended hundreds of individuals accused of murder, including more than seventy cases where the defendant faced the death penalty, including the Olympic bomber Eric Robert Rudolph. According to the Equal Justice Initiative, in Alabama, nine people have been exonerated from death row-Jaffe represented four of them: James Willie "Bo" Cochran, Randal Padgett, Gary Drinkard, and Wesley Quick. Though every chapter reveals more alarming, gut-wrenching cases, and impediments to justice, Jaffe's unwavering determination, hope, and strategies in the courtroom yield many momentous victories for his clients and the cause of justice. In Quest for Justice: Defending the Damned, Richard Jaffe offers all audiences an accessible, page-turning perspective borne out of a life representing the damned in America's criminal justice system.

This book is about the great moral issues underlying many of the headline-making political controversies of our times. It is not a comforting book but a book about disturbing and dangerous trends. The Quest for Cosmic Justice shows how confused conceptions of justice end up promoting injustice, how confused conceptions of equality end up promoting inequality, and how the tyranny of social visions prevents many people from confronting the actual consequences of their own beliefs and policies. Those consequences include the steady and dangerous erosion of fundamental principles of freedom -- amounting to a quiet repeal of the American revolution. The Quest for Cosmic Justice is the summation of a lifetime of study and thought about where we as a society are headed -- and why we need to change course before we do irretrievable damage.

It’s a proverbial battle of David versus Goliath. A senior government employee has been embroiled in a bitter battle against one of the country’s largest financiers, Wesbank. His Story is mired in alleged fraud, corruption and misconduct. The Grahamstown High Court this week dismissed with costs an appeal by Wesbank, a division of FirstRand – for the third time – against earlier rulings made in favour of Mzukisi Ndara. In the pursuit for justice, Ndara has approached several high-ranking politicians, Parliament as the custodian of the country’s laws, the Hawks and the courts. But 15 years into the battle, the matter has yet to be resolved. And some dockets containing vital evidence have gone missing. Ndara has now turned to the Director of Public Prosecutions as a last resort. – Long and Winding Road for Justice: Bulelwa Payi; Weekend Argus, March 19, 2019 Based on your statement, together with police evidential material and the circumstances of this matter, Wesbank and or its employees breached the contract in the form of misrepresentations and acted in violation of various statutes as alluded to in your reports. – National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Advocate Shamila Batohi; September 24, 2019 Your story needs to be told for business and government to understand they can’t keep turning a blind eye to their people who believe the end justifies the means regarding profit making. – Professor Thuli Madonsela; June 4, 2020 A seventeen year journey of sheer guts and resilience... - Dr Charity Hove October 6, 2021 It is a baffling, bewildering and unsettling story best summarized by your insightful self-observation (Part One: page 31), ‘my inner desire for truth’. You write with fluency and power, the first part of your account, embracing your earlier life, is amusing, wry, entertaining and in parts engrossing. The later parts make for more challenging reading, because of the anguish of the cumulating injustices, delays, lawyerly and institutional disingenuousness and evasions you suffered. Your account is truly a Dickensian tale of the law’s delays and obscurities, of lawyers and journalists’ evasions, with very occasional light points of courage, loyalty and competence. – Retired Constitutional Court Justice, Edwin Cameron, September 6, 202

This book is a remarkable study of a contemporary Javanese millenarian community based on a careful and nuanced exposition of the ideas of this community and its leader, Embah Wali, who looked to the coming of the Just King (Ratu Adil) in the person of the Sultan of Yogya. In the Blitar region (East Java), where the community is centred, Embah Wali and his followers created a world in which wayang functioned as the basis for an interpretation of living and being in the world. Adept in linguistic manipulation of the Javanese language, Embah Wali and his disciples created a world of meaning that was unique to their community. The author tells the story of Embah Wali and his followers, describes the phases of their movement and relates these developments to the turbulent social and political events that have occured in Java over more than a half century from the 1930s through the 1980s. This first-hand study of a Javanese messianistic movement contributes to our understanding of Javanese rural culture and politics. As a Javanese from Blitar, Raharjo Suwandi was fortunately positioned to be able able to study and interpret this movement in the midst of its most lively period and then to follow its development to the death of its founder.
