Product Description
From Oscar Wilde to Thomas Wolfe to Jack Kerouac the roman clef has been a sturdy literary tradition. In Bad Law, a San Francisco lawyer writing under the pen name of Will Nathan takes the genre to new territory in his second novel populated by the thinly-veiled icons of the local Bar and judiciary.

With a cast of characters to rival War and Peace, Nathan runs the gamut from delicious lampoon to brutal assault, as he mercilessly sketches many of the characters he has encountered in several decades of white-shoe business law and civil litigation.

The central character, a towering sociopath who personifies the late- millennial Gold Rush mentality that took hold at one of the Citys oldest and best-established firms, leading to its downfall, is presented in a relentlessly scathing portrait of hubris run amok.

In a culture obsessed by pointless one-upmanship, from the size of a partners office, to the perceived superiority of his or her law school in the arbitrary pecking order of American legal education, Americas Big Law law firms are caustically rendered as arrogant, money and power hungry bastions for the kind of people who see nothing wrong with spending their entire working lives sealed in glass towers sixteen hours a day, trying to outdo each other, demonstrating their ruthlessness at doing the bidding of their corporate masters.
