New Grisham Novel Reveals Lawyers Are Bad

"If you ever suspected lawyers were bad," bestselling author John Grisham told a hastily assembled Manhattan news conference, "wait 'til you read my new novel. Then you'll know."

Grisham's latest legal thriller, The Associate, makes clear that lawyers are indeed bad. They charge excessive fees, cheat on their billing records, milk cases for millions of dollars, and are mean to subordinates, Grisham revealed.

"Lawyers are very bad, indeed," Grisham told reporters. "It is my life's work to reveal their badness to the American public, which seems to forget from one novel of mine to the next just how bad lawyers are.

"This badness must be public knowledge," Grisham insisted. "If the American public is not fully aware of just how bad lawyers are, well, I don't know what to say."

Grisham also reveals in his newest book that wealthy people can have bad habits, that college students have sex, and that innocent people can be taken advantage of by bad people, at least for a while.
