When Gordy’s suicide leads Mark, Todd, and Zola to realize that they are victims of a scam, they decide to drop out of school, change their identities to avoid creditors, and practice law without a license. But their world changes when their friend and classmate, Gordy Tanner, commits suicide before he can reveal publicly the conspiracy he’s unearthed: FBLS admits unqualified students in order to profit from their student loans, and the school’s owner, a Wall Street lawyer turned investor, owns a bank that specializes in student lending.


All they want is to endure their last semester at Foggy Bottom Law School in Washington, D.C., and never return. Friends and third-year law students-Mark Frazier, Todd Lucero, and Zola Maal-are deep in debt. Inspired by an Atlantic article, this insightful, if flawed, novel from bestseller Grisham ( Camino Island) highlights the disturbing world of for-profit legal education.
