Scott Turow is a novelist, lawyer, and humanist who has fused his two passions, writing and the law, to create challenging novels that raise significant legal issues and test the justice of present laws. In all of his books, Turow reveals the moral ambiguities that afflict both accuser and accused, and challenges his readers to reconsider their preconceived notions of justice. Beginning with
One-L, his first published work about the first-year law school experience, Turow continues to capture his readers' imaginations with books such as
Presumed Innocent and
Burden of Proof.
