The Government lends money to the students which goes straight into the coffers of the law school, the students themselves rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, get a substandard education and have no career prospects when they graduate. Grisham took his inspiration for The Rooster Bar from an article called the Great Law School Scam. This was an exposé of private universities, set up as diploma factories for law degrees that in the end are not worth the paper they are printed on. The second, The Rooster Bar, is more in Grisham’s wheelhouse – a thriller of sorts based mainly around the underbelly of legal training and practice. While there was some crime and legal shenanigans involved, the first, Camino Island, was more of an excursion for Grisham into the world of writing and writers. John Grisham delivered not one but two novels this year.
