John Grisham
And that's the mission of The Innocence Project in New York, is to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted, and also work from a policy angle with Congress and state legislatures to prevent future wrongful convictions.
John Grisham

John Grisham
I give off rather mixed messages about the law. On the one hand, I can honestly say I don't miss working in a law office. On the other hand I do enjoy watching the law and while the profession may have its problems, I have sold zillions of books out of magnifying them.
John Grisham
After I'd been a lawyer for about five or six years, I started playing around with fiction.
John Grisham
I cannot write as well as some people my talent is in coming up with good stories about lawyers.That is what I am good at.
