He made a deadly mistake. When Mitch McDeere signed on with Bendini, Lambert & Locke of Memphis, he thought he and his beautiful wife, Abby, were on their way. The firm leased him a BMW, paid off his school loans, arranged a mortgage and hired him a decorator. Mitch McDeere should have remembered what his brother Ray -- doing fifteen years in a Tennessee jail -- already knew. You never get nothing for nothing. Now the FBI has the lowdown on Mitchs firm and needs his help. Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place, with no choice -- if he wants to live. This is one of the best books Ive read this year. This story began simply enough: Mitch, a young man who grew up poor in the south without much family was very smart. He finished graduate school for his law degree in the top ten of his class and married his high school sweet heart. Although hed intended to make the rounds of all the top places for attorneys, he quickly accepted The Firms offer - partly because he and they seemed to click and partly because they said family was important to them. When he accepted their generous offer, they also told him theyd pay off his school debts so that it wasnt hanging over him. They leased him a BMW that hed need to pay them back after he made partner in a few years.Mitch did indeed work very hard for the firm, putting in longer hours than anyone. However, little by little, Mitch began trying to make sense of certain events - how and why were two of the firms lawyers found dead in the Caribbean in the last year or so? Relatively soon, Mitch was approached by an FBI person who hoped to entice Mitch to turn over documents that they could use against the firm. Mitch was leery about that. The story continued unfolding with lots of ups and downs. We readers could guess but not really know how it would turn out until near the end of the final chapters.

  • Swinburne University of Technology Jason Bainbridge Lawyer As Critic
    Bainbridge Lawyer as critic Swinburne University of Technology Jason Bainbridge Lawyer as critic: analysing the legal thriller through the works of John Grisham, Erle Stanley Gardner and Harper Lee Abstract: Focusing on selected ‘classic’ novels by John Grisham, with reference to how they are informed by the earlier works of Erle Stanley Gardner and Harper Lee, this paper explores how these authors, writing in the legal thriller genre, present their lawyer protagonists as critics of both the law and the legal systems of which they are a part. Both Gardner’s and Grisham’s writings have been the focus of much criticism from legal scholars who suggest they are unduly critical of lawyers and provide outlandishly happy endings. This article challenges these criticisms by analysing how Gardner’s and Grisham’s narratives explore notions of law’s contingency on crime and materiality. In this way the article concludes that these narratives offer a way of understanding how just practitioners can operate in an unjust system and therefore constitute a powerful interrogation of how law operates. Biographical note: Jason Bainbridge is Professor and Chair of Media and Communication at Swinburne University of Technology. He has published widely on popular cultural representations of law and justice in print, on film and on television, media convergence, merchandising and material culture. He is co-author of the textbook Media and Journalism: New Approaches to Theory Practice (3rd ed, OUP, 2015) and is currently working on a monograph around media franchises. Keywords: Creative writing – Crime fiction – Legal Thriller – Postmaterial Law – Popular Culture TEXT Special Issue 37: Crime fiction and the creative/critical nexus 1 eds Rachel Franks, Jesper Gulddal and Alistair Rolls, October 2016 Bainbridge Lawyer as critic Introduction The lawyer has always occupied an unusual position in crime fiction, simultaneously a figure of reverence and revulsion.

  • The Runaway Jury John Grisham
    The Runaway Jury John Grisham One The face of Nicholas Easter was slightly hidden by a display rack filled with slim cordless phones, and he was looking not directly at the hidden camera but somewhere off to the left, perhaps at a customer, or perhaps at a counter where a group of kids hovered over the latest electronic games from Asia. Though taken from a distance of forty yards by a man dodging rather heavy mall foot traffic, the photo was clear and revealed a nice face, clean-shaven with strong features and boyish good looks. Easter was twenty-seven, they knew that for a fact. No eyeglasses. No nose ring or weird haircut. Nothing to indicate he was one of the usual computer nerds who worked in the store at five bucks an hour. His questionnaire said he'd been there for four months, said also that he was a part- time student, though no record of enrollment had been found at any college within three hundred miles. He was lying about this, they were certain. He had to be lying. Their intelligence was too good. If the kid was a student, they'd know where, for how long, what field of study, how good were the grades, or how bad. They'd know. He was a clerk in a Computer Hut in a mall. Nothing more or less. Maybe he planned to enroll somewhere. Maybe he'd dropped out but still liked the notion of referring to himself as a part-time student. Maybe it made him feel better, gave him a sense of purpose, sounded good.

  • Hollywood's Hero-Lawyer: a Liminal Character and Champion of Equal
    Chapter 33 1 Hollywood’s Hero-Lawyer: A Liminal 2 Character and Champion of Equal Liberty 3 Orit Kamir 4 Abstract Hollywood’s hero-lawyer movies are a distinct group of American feature 5 films. Typically, they each depict a lawyer who unwittingly finds himself at the heart 6 of a moral drama involving a client and/or a community in distress, gross injustice, 7 the rule of law and powerful, obstructive forces that must be overcome. Alone with 8 nothing at his side but his professional legal skills, courage, and integrity (and 9 sometimes a good friend and a good woman), the lawyer reluctantly comes to the 10 rescue, often at great personal sacrifice. In the process, he must balance individuality 11 and social commitment, and loyalty to friends, to the law, to the spirit of the law, to 12 the legal community, to justice, and to himself. This chapter argues that Hollywood’s 13 hero-lawyer is the symbolic “champion of equal liberty” as well as a liminal character 14 on the frontier edge of society. This chapter claims that the hero-lawyer’s frontier- 15 based liminality is inseparable from the moral-legal principle of equal liberty that he 16 personifies. This chapter considers the ways in which Hollywood’s hero-lawyer’s 17 liminality is linked with the character’s role as champion of equal liberty. This chapter 18 follows the nuances of the hero-lawyer’s liminality and moral heroism in 15 films, 19 focusing on the classic cinematic formulations of these points and tracing their 20 variations in contemporary film.
