In 1935, Jean Louise Finch was eight years old and in attendance of a trial that rocked the little town of Maycomb. After she watched her father defend an innocent man despite the fact he was going to lose, she got an idea: to become one of the first female defense lawyers in history, fighting alongside the accused and/or acquitted. For 13 years she studied and fought for her position as a defense lawyer. Bringing her lawyer training to wrongfully accused people of color, Jean Louise Finch helped change the way people view the world.
