	Scott Turow's One L (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Turow's hint, and it is no more than a hint, is that Harvard Law School satisfies a shadow side, what he calls his "greedy little monster." Turow, driven to succeed, finds a fit at Harvard for this drive.
		Turow, seeking success and accomplishment, recognizes that the psychological underpinning of his quest creates a problem in his becoming the kind of lawyer he wants to be.
		Scott Turow's One L is a workable narrative of legal education and the difficulties, doubts, and promise of professional life that carries one through legal education rites of passage.

		Scott Turow: Generally speaking, the death penalty is a state matter, although there is a federal death penalty.
		Scott Turow: After hanging in doubt for many years on this issue, I think the mistake we make is arguing about whether the death penalty ought to be applied in particular cases instead of focusing on the whole series of outcomes that our capital systems have produced.
		Scott Turow: I have my own experiences but it is certainly the case that many people on death row are mentally impaired in some ways.

		Scott Turow: "Reversible Errors" is about four people -- the defense lawyer, the prosecutor, the detective and the sentencing judge -- who are involved in a death penalty case in which another prisoner confesses to the same crime for which the defendant is about to be executed.
		Scott Turow: Yes, the Central Park case is very much like the case in "Reversible Errors," right down to the fact that in my book, as well, the defendant has confessed to the murder he now claims he didn't commit.
		Scott Turow: I have to admit that I haven't followed the basis for the federal charges which were filed today.

	Ultimate Punishment - Scott Turow
		Turow meets the worst of the worst murderers, describes some appalling crimes -- and some appalling miscarriages of justice --, and conveys some of the information gleaned from testimony from everyone from legal professionals to victims' families.
		Turow considers the supposed deterrent effect of having a death penalty, noting that there is no convincing evidence suggesting a deterrent effect of any sort.
		Turow does come away from the experience a changed man: a believer in the death penalty, he nevertheless loses hope in its just application in the real world (at least the real world as it looks in Illinois).

	Scott Turow's Death Row Turnarounds
		Turow, could have simply quit practicing law and settled into a comfortable suburban life on Chicago's North Shore, where he and his family live.
		More recently, Turow served as a member of the death-penalty reform commission created by George Ryan, the conservative Republican governor of Illinois who came to believe that his state's capital-punishment system was badly flawed.
		Turow has been both a prosecutor and defense lawyer, so his views on capital punishment are the result of agonizing over the subject from both sides of the bench.

	Scott Turow's Reversible Errors
		Turow served on 14-person commission appointed by Illinois Gov. George Ryan, who declared a moratorium on executions after 13 men were released from death row because of new DNA evidence.
		Turow believes that at least one-third of the current death row inmates are mentally handicapped, a significant issue in light of June's Supreme Court decision exempting the ''mentally retarded'' from the death penalty.
		Yet, Turow says, although anti-death-penalty advocates were very helpful during the Hernandez case, he could not bring himself to protest the execution of John Wayne Gacy, convicted of killing 33 young men.

	Ordinary Heroes by Scott Turow: Reviews
		In "Ordinary Heroes," as never before, Turow reaches beyond his belief in and love of the law and into history--one family's and our country's--to discover anew that there still lie in the marrow of human passions motivations and mysteries that can't be captured or categorized.
		This novel provides a showcase for Turow's storytelling skills: he juggles the narratives, shifting back and forth in time with assurance; he is alert as always to character; the plot moves.
		Turow has given us a captivating tale about the things ordinary people are sometimes required to do in extraordinary circumstances.

		Turow adopts the device of the central character's father speaking through a long memorandum he had written at the end of the war to educate the lawyer defending him during a court martial.
		Turow's impeccable feel for the dialogue of lawyers and judges does not wholly transfer to this war story--at times, one can hardly imagine that GI's under fire or some of the foreign characters would speak with such vocabulary ("raddled") and sentence structure.
		Turow has done his research on the "Battle of the Bulge" and historically the novel is about as accurate as a work of fiction can be.

	Reversible Errors - Scott Turow
		Turow arranges his novel largely around two couples: Arthur and the judge who convicted (and sentenced) Rommy, Gillian Sullivan on the one hand, and the prosecuting attorney Muriel Wynn and Larry Starczek, the investigating detective (who had, among other things, elicited the confession from Rommy).
		Other aspects of the novel -- Turow's refusal to allow much to be depicted simply as fl and white or right or wrong, and to show how the legal process can be manipulated by the participants -- are more impressive.
		The focus on the characters (rather than the legal aspects of the story) is an interesting approach, but Turow overdoes it by focussing on four rather than simply one or two (as well as by so ignoring Rommy).

		At the close of legal-thriller novelist Scott Turow's second book, The Burden of Proof, Sonia Klonsky was a young prosecutor in Kindle County Courthouse with a failing marriage, an infant daughter, and a single mastectomy.
		Turow once again proves that there is more substance in a single page of one of his novels than in the entire works of John Grisham or any other author in the legal thriller genre.
		Turow tries to mix elements of his legal thriller formula with an attempt to write a great novel about aging, crime, redemption, and other "Big Themes." The result is a botched mess, a sloppy book that fails to grasp the reader's attention.

		Chicago defense attorney Turow, formerly a U.S. prosecutor, capitalizes on his intimate knowledge of the courtroom in an impressive first novel that matches Anatomy of a Murder in its intensity and verisimilitude.
		With the calculating genius of a good lawyer (and writer), Turow, author of the nonfiction One L, draws the reader into a grittily realistic portrait of big city political corruption that climaxes with a dramatic murder trial in which every dark twist of legal statute and human nature is convincingly revealed.
		Turow is a master at writing dialogue, it seems to flow naturally off the page and it makes all the characters believable and either likable, dislikable or downright hated.
