Scott Turow on how the law inspires his novels Share:
Sandy Stern, the recurring protagonist in Scott Turowâs novels, including his latest, âThe Last Trial,â is âwithout question a member of the ABA,â the author told ABA President Patricia Lee Refo.
The acclaimed writer joined Refo for a discussion about the law and writing at the ABA Midyear Meeting on Feb. 21.
Turow, who is also a longstanding ABA member, is a former federal prosecutor who recently retired from commercial practice in the Chicago office of Dentons US, LLP, but retains his pro bono work. He is the author of 12 works of fiction, including âPresumed Innocentâ and âThe Burden of Proof,â and two nonfiction books, one of which is âOne L,â about his experience as a law student.

In a release, Discovery says the “Shock Docs” series “journeys back to the most infamous horror cases our country has ever known, taking a fresh look at true and terrifying tales of paranormal encounters.”
But how can you have a fresh look at a story that, for over 40 years, has been analyzed, dissected, adapted, fictionalized, sometimes dismissed but always remained in the public imagination?

Terry Brankin Has a Gun (Merrion Press) was an impressive addition to the post-Troubles canon of crime writing while Arlene Hunt’s
