About The Advocate For Justice & Moral Compassion
A Memoir of Authority, Truth, and the Power of Pain
The Advocate for Justice and Moral Compassion originated from a singular voice of acknowledgment — a voice that the author cherishes deeply. This moment of acknowledgment ignited Carol Denise Mitchell’s enduring authority to challenge boardrooms, institutions, and even a physician who sought to undermine her spirit. What resulted is her most definitive manual on justice, truth, and moral bravery. Gifted with the uncommon ability to perceive truth as a foundation and suffering as strength, Mitchell approaches every conflict with lucidity and determination. At the age of seventy, she enters a courtroom anticipating justice, only to find that the Civil Rights Department, (CRD) has let her down. Weariness does not diminish her determination. Rather, it serves as the impetus for one of the most compelling displays of personal advocacy ever recorded. Mediation becomes the battleground where she demonstrates that suffering — when directed with intention — is a tactical tool against any institution intent on distorting or obliterating the truth. This book chronicles struggles from the courtroom to the office of the General Counsel of a prominent corporation. Readers will observe the moment Mitchell stands resolute and informs a corporate attorney, “You’ve got one more day,” a proclamation that resonates throughout the pages as a tribute to her bravery and accuracy. The Advocate for Justice and Moral Compassion encapsulate the essence of a writer whose work is preserved from Glendale, Arizona to the Library of Congress — on two occasions. It represents the culmination of a lifetime dedicated to advocacy, resilience, and moral insight.
