Come hear Kermit Roosevelt (Law 1997) read from his novel "In the Shadow of the Law." From Publishers Weekly. Starred Review. This outstanding debut goes behind the scenes at Morgan Siler, one of Washington, D.C.'s most powerful K Street law firms, as several lawyers become embroiled in two difficult cases: a pro bono death penalty case in Virginia and a class action suit brought against a Texas chemical corporation after an explosion kills dozens of workers. Assigned to the pro bono case is the earnest, rumpled first-year associate Mark Clayton, who wonders, as he struggles with sleep deprivation and trying to reach his billable-hours target, if he hasn't made a terrible career choice. Also on the case is the brilliant, cocksure young lawyer Walker Eliot. Leading the Hubble Chemical defense is the ferocious litigator Harold Fineman, and lording over them all is Peter Morgan, the supremely confident, never-satisfied managing partner of the firm. Though the novel features plenty of satisfying twists and turns, the book transcends the legal thriller genre. Roosevelt, who practiced and teaches law and who once clerked for Justice Souter, offers a fascinating insider's look into the culture of a high-stakes firm, while also presenting a considered meditation on the law itself and its potential to compromise those driven to practice it. Most of all it's the vividness and complexity of the characters—drawn with the precision and authority of a winning legal argument—that heralds the arrival of an exciting new voice. Agent, Tina Bennett. (June)

n honor of Midsummer, Manish and Garrett would like to lead you in the traditional rituals of bonfire leaping, wagon wheel rolling, and torch processions around our fields. However, since we have neither fields nor wagon wheels and we're pretty sure bonfires are forbidden in Manhattan, we've decided to take our bacchanalian festival offshore, afloat, and upriver. The Temptress: http://www.marcopolocruises.com/temptress_photos.html will sail from Pier 81 promptly at 8pm (Bar opens at 7:30), June 23rd and return by 11:15pm under the first full moon of the summer. Expect dancing and an open bar with freely flowing beer, wine, and liquor. Light dinner of chicken, pasta, and salad will also be provided. Dress as you wish. Tickets are $50 available via evite below: http://www.evite.com/pages/invite/viewInvite.jsp?event=LCYMAFTPSKHXPONSLCSA
