The Rooster bar by John Grisham

"The Rooster bar" by John Grisham -  why Rooster bar?

This  book is published by Bidder sand Stoughton in 2017 and has 384 pages. 

Marc, Todd, Gordy and Zola are law students,  at Foggy Bottoms, in their final semester. Bipolar Gordy is working on a conspiracy theory about law schools. He commits suicide. Marc, Todd and Zola decide to 'Go legal'.

What influences their decision? Is Gordy's theory correct? What's Rooster bar?

The book addresses the issue of easy student loans leading to mediocre students being admitted to substandard institutes and half of them not able to pass the bar exam; leading to individuals with no future and about 200,000$ debt that they can't repay. 

The book also talks about unauthorized law practitioners practicing law blatantly and no one getting wiser. I remembered a TV show called 'Suits' that handles same issue but at a higher profile.

The Story is ok. Misadventures of law students lead to disgruntled clients, mockery of justice, exposè of legal system cracks, law suits and absconding students. To add to it there is a story of a legal scam that does not necessarily break many rules, makes a lot of money and destroys young lawyers. Senegalese angle appears like an unnecessary attachment.

The bar from which they operate is called Rooster bar. Hence the title of this Book. It could have been Piegon bar, Rock bar, Pink bar any other name and it would make no difference to the story.

Why can't they wait for six more months to 'Go legal'? What happens to the guy who misses statuary limit? Some such questions go unanswered. 

Why did I read this book? John Grisham. 

What I didn't like? Title. Could have been anything. 

What did I like? Concept of student loan scam. 

Not a must read.
