Legal Asylum
Legal Asylum: A Comedy | Paul Goldstein
1 post | 1 read
Legal Asylum is the new novel by Paul Goldstein, author of Secret Justice and the Harper Lee Prize-winning Havana Requiem. It tells the satiric tale of the lengths an ambitious law school dean, Elspeth Flowers, will go to in order to secure her school into the top 5 of the US News and World Report annual ranking of the nation's best law schools. Success means securing a spot in history as no State law school has ever made it to the top, but at what cost to Dean Flowers, to her somewhat bumbling but well-intentioned Assistant Dean, Jimmy Fleenor, and to the future of the university itself?

Legal Asylum: A Comedy | Paul Goldstein
Pickpick

Do I think I'd find this more amusing if I was in the legal profession/had some experience with Law School/was closer to my time in higher education? You bet. Is all of the humor lost on me because of that? Nope. Recommended for those who like smart books. Strong writing, satire that's on-target without being mean, good characters and an ending that's pretty satisfying--hard to ask for more. I talk more about the book here: http://wp.me/p3z9AH-2Gt
