This time, their investigation may scuttle the hopes of Buffalo Stallions fans for a trip to the Super Bowl as they dig into whether the local District Attorney has been bribed by the Stallions' owner to dismiss a rape investigation into the team's young star QB, Jake Riley. After the prosecutor who had handled Riley's rape investigation cries during her secret meeting with Dean, he enlists Foley to help him uncover whether the DA was paid off. But as their investigation gets going, Dean and Foley find that there are others, including the Stallions' arch rival and perennial AFC champs, the Atlantic Colonials, interested in either revealing or burying the truth. That spells trouble not only for the Stallions, but for the alleged rape victim and a witness; and ultimately for Dean and Foley. Complicating matters along the way, the state Supreme Court's Chief Justice, Chip Krane, and Dean's former boss and now Supreme Court associate justice, Brad Gunther, are back monitoring his every move. All this culminates in an exciting and surprising conclusion that proves the old adage, "winning is everything." It also answers the question central to all Buffalo Stallions' fans - will the Stallions ever make it to another Super Bowl?

Law school was never Anna Dorn's dream. It was a profession pushed on her by her parents, teachers, society... whatever. It's not the worst thing that can happen to a person; as Dorn says, law school was pretty "cushy" and mostly entailed wearing leggings every day to her classes at Berkeley and playing beer pong with her friends at night. The hardest part was imagining what it would be like to actually be a lawyer one day. But then she'd think of Glenn Close on Damages and Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde, and hoped for the best. After graduation, however, Dorn realized that there was nothing sexy about being a lawyer. Between the unflattering suits, sucking up to old men, and spending her days sequestered in a soul-sucking cubicle, Dorn quickly learned that being a lawyer wasn't everything Hollywood made it out to be. Oh, and she sucked at it. Not because she wasn't smart enough, but because she couldn't get herself to care enough to play by the rules. Bad Lawyer is more than just a memoir of Dorn's experiences as a less-than-stellar lawyer; it's about the less-than-stellar legal reality that exists for all of us in this country, hidden just out of sight. It's about prosecutors lying and filing inane briefs that lack any semblance of logic or reason; it's about defense attorneys sworn to secrecy-until the drinks come out and the stories start flying; and it's about judges who drink in their chambers, sexually harass the younger clerks, and shop on eBay instead of listening to homicide testimony. More than anything, this book aims to counteract the fetishization of the law as a universe based entirely on logic and reason. Exposing everything from law school to law in the media, and drawing on Dorn's personal experiences as well as her journalistic research, Bad Lawyer ultimately provides us with a fresh perspective on our justice system and the people in it, and gives young lawyers advice going forward into the 21st century.
