Any Information?
Do we have any information on the subject of the book besides the title? If not, can we put on the article that no information has been released? This in itself is newsworthy, for the moment. Cs302b (talk) 10:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Currently reading, want to finish it before making any additions here. In summary, it's about contaminated water litigation and corporate manipulation of judicial elections to influence an appeal. Wexcan Talk  18:04, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Inspiration?
Is there any evidence that Brent Benjamin/Warren McGraw is the inspiration for the book? I'll agree there are some parallels, but I would also submit Grisham's campaign contributions as some evidence. Grisham has given to 2 Supreme Court races: $5,000 to 2006 Alabama Chief Justice Candidate Sue Bell Cobb, and $5,000 to 2000 Mississippi Supreme Court candidate Percy Lynchard. My guess is that the story draws from both the West Virginia and Alabama races. See www.followthemoney.org for the aggregated state campaign finance data. 71.207.183.102 (talk) 04:05, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
