Justice Inc.–is a company that makes big money out of predicting court case outcomes–not just guessing at them, but setting up mock trials, mock juries, and using lots of research, resources and investigation tools. That is how to describe Justice Inc, where Jason Noble is an up-and-coming lawyer. In fact he’s so good he loses his job because he is able to argue cases better than the actual prosecutors, and that skews the results of the research for the Justice Inc. investors.
Kelly Starling, another Justice Inc. lawyer alumni, is thrown with Jason into the case of the century by Justice Inc., a case that will take all that each lawyer has to win, will cause lots of public uproar, and puts the judge in a precarious position. It is a gun case, charging a gun manufacturer with negligence by selling to suppliers who use straw buyers for obtaining guns for felons, and others not eligible to own a gun.
These two lawyers are not in this case by accident, but it was orchestrated by Justice Inc, knowing that each lawyer would give all they have to win. Justice Inc, is facing problems due to recommendations that had wrong outcomes. Now they have dismissed one of the main founders of the company, and this case is their shot at trying to redeem themselves–so there is a lot riding on this case.
Each lawyer has his or her own story and life that is explored in this book, I found this book very slow moving, with too many side story lines and distractions from the actual case. The actual story was fascinating, but the side stories, and the political side of the book really were distracting for me. It was also a very long book and very hard to get through it all, as it moved along slowly for almost 500 pages.
Randy splits his time between Randy Singer, critically acclaimed author, Randy Singer, veteran trial lawyer, and Randy Singer, ministry leader and preacher.
