In the hallowed halls of a third-tier law school, Mark, Todd, and Zola embarked on a journey to change the world. But as their final year unfolds, the stark realization hits—they've been ensnared in The Great Law School Scam, victims of a for-profit institution more adept at amassing debt than delivering dreams. The revelation that their futures are mortgaged to a sinister hedge-fund magnate propels them into a quixotic quest for justice. With nothing but wit, desperation, and a profound sense of betrayal, they contemplate an audacious escape from their crippling debts and a system rigged against them. "The Rooster Bar" is John Grisham's thrilling dive into the dark underbelly of for-profit law education, where the promise of success is sold to the highest bidder. As Mark, Todd, and Zola navigate the murky waters of legal ethics and their own moral compasses, they hatch a plan so bold it borders on the absurd. From the dimly lit corners of The Rooster Bar, their plot to expose the scam that ensnared them—and perhaps redeem their own futures—unfolds with Grisham's signature blend of suspense, humor, and razor-sharp insight into the legal system. It’s a story of defiance, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship, told with the pacing of a legal thriller only Grisham could write.

These are mistakes, not regrets. Regrets are over and done with and a waste of time to rehash. Mistakes, though, are bad moves in the past that might affect the future.
