Description

The students at Manhattan Law School, a decrepit institution on the edge of the toxic Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, are geographically-challenged and mad as hell in debt up to their eyeballs and fighting over the few legal jobs left for those who are far outside the Ivy League.

Our hero, Adam Wright, is a newly minted professor with high hopes and low expectations.

But nothing has prepared him for a classroom of digitally distracted students, a rebellion of grade grubbers, a Law Journal staff at the helm of a school-wide scam, and a corrupt administration that runs the school as if it were a personal ATM.

Adam regrets leaving his lucrative corporate law firm for the wilds of academia, until he finds an ally in the brilliant and fetching Laura Stapleton, a colleague with her own troubling secrets.

Now the two professors may just have to save legal education... or join their students in the unemployment line or worse.

With its colorful cast of eccentrics and law school misfits, a satirical plot that without too much of a stretch could be ripped from the headlines, and a proven author duo who know this world and have six previous books between them, The Curve continues Ankerwycke s trend of publishing high quality/highly readable legal fiction with an edge.

The Curve is a hugely entertaining and deeply felt novel that satirizes the current state of higher education and reads like a cross between Dangerous Minds and The Paper Chase."
