Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Darlene Ricker’s profile of attorney Bryan Stevenson brings depth to the story through the insights of those who have worked with him and have known him over the years. Rather than fall into the easy trap of writing a profile with just the subject as the source, Darlene tracked down various people who add dimension to the story and reveal Stevenson’s character, including a man Stevenson saved from death row after getting his murder conviction overturned.
