The Litigators by John Grisham

The Litigators is an enjoyable legal romp, set in Chicago. David Zinc works ridiculous hours at a huge downtown law firm. One day, he decides he's had enough, walks off, gets drunk and ends up at "boutique" law firm Finley & Figg (ambulance chasers par excellence). He kind of likes the slower pace and learning about different kinds of law and doesn't even mind how little money he's making. Then one of the partners, Wally, gets the firm sucked into a huge lawsuit against a drug company, in hopes of making big bucks. Of course, nothing goes as planned and soon David, with no trial experience whatsoever, ends up trying the case by himself.

This book is a lot more lighthearted than some of Grisham's other books, which I liked.
It's a good story and David is an appealing "leading man." Is it great literature? No. But is it a good way to spend a wintry weekend? Definitely.
