But these law students, along with their buddy Gordy, are drowning in student loan debts.

Many an individual drowns their sorrows here. Fellow occupants Mark, Todd, and Zola are in their third year of law school at Foggy Bottom (Yep). My legs are dangling off a barstool in the ol' Rooster Bar. You are like the gentleman caller who promises wine and roses, but in the aftermath, there's a bit of a dull headache and the barb of the thorn. Ingenious, immersive and page-turning, The Rooster Bar is a John Grisham legal thriller bar none. But to do so, they have to leave law school, pretend they are qualified and go into battle with a billionaire and the FBI. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. 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 specialising in student loans, the three realise they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam. They all borrowed heavily to attend a law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. As third-year students, they realise they have been duped. But these days these three disillusioned friends spend a lot of time hanging out in The Rooster Bar, the place where Todd serves drinks. Law students Mark, Todd and Zola wanted to change the world - to make it a better place. John Grisham's newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that shouldn't exist.
