Order in the Court

No, not Judge Judy's courtroom, but Jodi Picoult's courtroom. Most of her books have to do with the law system, and in The Pact we see this through Chris's murder trial. The last hundred and fifty pages(at least) were all part of the trial(minus the flashbacks). This may be one of the reasons Picoult's books are so popular--the law system entices readers and takes them on a wild ride through court. (We even see this in shows like CSI, Law and Order, and those two new TV shows that are on Monday nights--Canterbury's Law and New Amsterdam--both of which rock, by the way.)

So what is it that makes us so drawn to the drama of law? Is it the was Picoult's describes it all, or is it just the concept of the courtroom itself?? Share your opinion on our forum!

Keep Reading!!! :)
