Rogue Lawyer




Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham
Sebastian Rudd is a street lawyer.  His office is in a bulletproof van, he has no partners, and only one employee whose name is Partner.  Partner is Sebastian's driver, law clerk, and body guard. Sebastian is not afraid to take on clients other attorneys avoid.  He believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, no matter what they've done.

John Grisham is always good at writing legal thrillers, and this one does not disappoint.  He has written this book in a different format with chapters and parts, each part representing a different story and client.  Sebastian Rudd is the protagonist in the story, he is a street wise, colorful, likeable lawyer, who defends some unsavory characters.  He works out of his van, equipped with wi-fi, a bar, a small fridge and leather chairs.  His home, a small apartment with the main piece of furniture being a vintage pool table.  Playing pool helps Sebastian relax and think.  Sebastian makes many enemies throughout the story and his personal life is a mess, but I found myself cheering for him all along the way.
