Critics Review
This book is an enjoyable and easy read for lawyers and non-lawyers … Julian’s love for our state is evident in every chapter. I am very thankful that he came back to Alabama four decades ago and has spent his life and career trying to improve the quality of life for all our citizens.
– Bill Baxley, former Alabama Attorney GeneralBill Baxley

McPhillips was the subject of the People’s Lawyer, Civil Rights in My Bones, and the autobiography, Only in Alabama. He won numerous awards from the SCLC, NAACP, and other civil rights groups. McPhillips was also co-founder (with his wife Leslie) of the Scott and Zelda Museum and lay minister/administrator of Christ the Redeemer Episcopal Church.
