John Grisham’s most recent novel, The Rooster Bar, turns the the staid world of for-profit law schools into a gripping thriller.For-profit law schools first became an interest of Grisham’s. It took me awhile to figure out where he was going with the plot- I thought the characters were going to pursue a trial against the Rackley scheme- which I think would have made a lot better book but it was a very small part of the plot.

But now as third-year students these close friends realize they have been. It was less a legal thriller and more like a drama/narrative/retelling of a story that wasn’t very compelling. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam. Mark Todd and Zola came to law school to change the world to make it a better place. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place.
