	Law.com - Stanford Law Professor Pens First IP Legal Thriller
		Goldstein's first novel, a legal thriller titled "Errors and Omissions," is also the first in the genre to be set against the backdrop of intellectual property law and practice.
		The particular spark for "Errors and Omissions" came several years later, when Goldstein worked on the trial team defending MGM and United Artists' rights to the James Bond franchise against Sony Pictures, which was developing a competing Bond franchise with the consent of a writer who worked on the film treatment for "Thunderball."
		Slimming the legal content was a particular challenge, he says.

	How to Write a Legal Thriller - Associated Content
		Just about all legal proceedings and trials in the United States are public, and you are free to sit in.
		Before you set out to write your legal thriller, you should decide whether this novel will be a stand-alone or the start of a series.
		Also, if you are developing a series, pay close attention to secondary characters you will want to return, such as your protagonist's law partner, the prosecutor, some police detectives, the judge, and a private eye.

	Collins to Grisham
		Certainly not original, but it works; and when lawyers apply their knowledge of the legal system to that formula, the result is the legal thriller.
		A thriller, rather than a detective story, Man and Wife is a carefully crafted mystery which leads us through a rabbit warren of bigamy, death, wild night rides, disappearances, and mistaken identities, all of which comes to a neat conclusion wherein justice wins out, in spite of the legal system.
		[32] The legal thriller is a hybrid of hybrids.

	Writing Legal Thrillers
		Finally, there were a number of substantial real-life legal cases to focus our minds on the justice system and the roles of attorneys: the Army-McCarthy hearings in the fifties, the Manson family trials in the sixties, and the Watergate Senate/House proceedings in the seventies, the last broadcast nearly unabridged to a mesmerized nation.
		The beauty of the legal thriller is that the author writing the novel must also orient the reader on the law driving the plot.
		Which unfortunately forces me to admit that the popularity of legal thrillers might flow less from "the eye of the beholder" justification and more from "the grass is always greener" one.

	PARAMESWARAN NAIR
		Though legal themed stories existed in Indian literature since 300 BC, it was Parameswaran Nair who first used it to good use in the thriller/ mystery genre.
		I wanted to write thrillers- and when I mused over the same for a long, long time- I decided that my protagonist should be a lawyer, and that there should be heavy courtroom drama.
		And though legal thrillers have been written by other authors in India, after Nair…I don’t think there are any legal thrillers which has logged more courtroom action than The Case of the Innocent Accomplice.

	Books: Legal thriller gets real
		Green 61 is set mostly in the Tampa Bay area; the accident takes place on Useppa Island, a posh retreat in the Fort Myers area where Cartwright and the author both maintain a home.
		Unlike John Grisham, who throws the reader headlong into complex legal scenarios, complete with violence and intricate plot twists that leave your head spinning, Davis keeps a quieter pace, sticking to a realistic recitation of a lawsuit's progress through the courts and the small, often petty battles lawyers fight.
		Distilling the strategy and complexity of a courtroom fight, he brings a level of realism often lost in legal thrillers that favor the bizarre plot twist over believability.

		But it does provide Alex access not only to the legal side of things but to the police side of things, which covers all bases.
		Combining the thriller skills of Grisham (while adding a great deal more imagination) and the characterization gifts of Turow, these books are a combination that can hardly be beat, and In the Company of Liars is completely remarkable.
		These books aren't strictly legal thrillers but all have a strong legal background; to call them modern morality tales might be closer to the truth.
