Tommy McNeely, a former federal prosecutor frustrated by his failure to land Wall Street hedge fund sharks, has moved on to become a professor at St. Sebastian School of Law. As a newly appointed dean, he discovers that the domineering university president, a Catholic priest, is plotting to sell out the law school to pharmaceutical industry lobbyists looking to cloak their think tank in academic garb. He finds an unlikely ally in Maggie Holloran, a second-year law student facing her own trials in running her ailing father's dive bar while also confronting charges of plagiarizing her paper on abortion law. Set during the days of the lawless Trump Administration as McNeely tries to find meaning in the "Rule of Law," this satire tackles political, class, religious, and legal divides blending humor with thoughtful insights into the lives of contemporary law students and faculty.
