OverviewA crisp, intellectually enlightening legal novel. Kirkus Reviews This lively novel is a great read for aspiring law students. Suzanne Rabe, Law Professor Clean, crisp AND insightful with humor, pathos and practical wisdom. Dr. Robert Shannon, M.D. 'Law Prof' leaves the podium to embrace the intensity of litigation. The case: Marie, 13, her mother killed by a defective furnace. Placed in foster care, she is sexually assaulted. Can the furnace's manufacturer be sued? Can the store that sold it? Can the agency that placed Marie in the foster home? And what will happen to her if she wins big bucks? Law Prof works with his daughter and the folks in her law office - Rachael, an academic star, Bill, a lawyer who wasn't, and George, an ex-cop who prefers Buddha to Bud. Law Prof's enthralled but worried. What he once thought unethical is becoming routine and opposing lawyers, who he once admired, are becoming 'those bastards'. He still has to attend faculty meetings. Should students graduate in two years, not three? And what, exactly, does the Socratic Method have to do with law practice? Are Pringles potato chips? Professor Hegland has taught at Arizona, UCLA, and Harvard, and is known as one of the nation's best legal writers; his books on law study and law practice are found in many backpacks. His degrees, (from Stanford, Berkeley, and Harvard), prove you can fool some colleges, some of the time - and that's enough.
