John Grisham on ‘The Litigators,’ Writing and Criminal Justice

Author John Grisham has leveraged his career by doing what few in the legal profession can. He has made subjects usually relegated to the law school classroom –  topics like torts and case law –  into fascinating, suspenseful literature.  While he is best known as a bestselling author, John Grisham has also become an advocate for criminal justice reform.  He serves on the board of the Innocence Project, a public policy organization dedicated to exonerating the wrongfully-convicted. John Grisham’s new book is called “The Litigators” and he joins The Takeaway to discuss writing and public policy advocacy.
