Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. 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. 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. But maybe there's a way out. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no . . . Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready to spend some time at The Rooster Bar.

Good story but not very rich and exciting as other books by the author
I got a signed copy for Christmas from my mom and brother. This seemed very different for Grisham books as the main characters just keep digging a deeper hole vs getting in a hole and then working to get out. With these characters, everything they tried just keep getting them in more and more trouble. Usually with books, this leads to a rush or forced ending/resolution. However, Grisham wraps this up nicely.
Bad. Shook I finished. Self-indulgent characters that never redeem themselves.
