I grew up reading courtroom thrillers by authors like John Grisham and Scott Turow and watching legal dramas like L.A. Law and Ally McBeal. Those kind of stories fell out of favor for a while, but I’m feeling like they are BACK. The Local by Joey Hartstone was the story of a small town patent lawyer who suddenly finds himself in the middle of a high stakes criminal defense trial. Check out my review of The Local!
