Note: The Street Lawyer should not be confused with Michael Connelly’s The Lincoln Lawyer (2005), which is set in Los Angeles and features a lawyer who works out of his car and defends drug dealers and gangsters. The book makes us respect those who fight the uphill battle to protect the rights of the homeless and validate their worth as human beings. The system is geared toward helping those who pay for legal help, not those who can’t. The story illustrates how poorly our justice system protects the rights of the homeless. His traumatic experience leads him to quit his job and go to work for a street law firm specializing in pro bono work for the homeless. When a homeless man invades the firm’s offices and humiliates the lawyers for not helping the poor and homeless, Michael is drawn into an investigation of unfair evictions. Michael is a fast-tracked lawyer in a big D.C. The Street Lawyer is a good example of what he can do. ![]() ![]() ![]() John Grisham is well-known for writing legal thrillers that highlight problems in our justice system and the legal profession. ![]()
