Recusal

A young lawyer finds himself swept into political scandal and the moral dilemmas plaguing the nation's capital when he lands in Washington, DC for a clerkship and begins falling in love with a gorgeous Rhodes Scholar and fellow clerk. Set in America's near future, Recusal provides an inside look into presidential pardons, censorship, and recusal issues, drawing on current events to show the gray spaces within judicial ethics.
