What this book is about
Three law students at a low-ranked, for-profit law school discover that their school is owned by a hedge fund that profits from their debt — and has no intention of training them to pass the bar. They decide to practice law anyway. The Rooster Bar is Grisham's most scathing commentary on the student loan industry.
