When a law student's brief links two Supreme Court assassinations to White House corruption, she becomes the target. Grisham's prescient 1992 thriller - featuring a groundbreaking female protagonist - remains eerily relevant in today's political landscape. Julia Roberts brought Darby Shaw to life.

The silence of a Georgetown night shatters as an international assassin named Khamel methodically executes two Supreme Court Justices-the liberal Rosenberg and the younger Jensen-in separate, perfectly orchestrated hits. Within hours, the nation reels in shock while the President and his manipulative chief of staff Fletcher Coal see political opportunity: "It's perfect... We didn't create it. It's not our fault." Their primary concern isn't justice but the chance to reshape the Court with new appointments. Meanwhile at Tulane Law School, brilliant third-year student Darby Shaw watches the news unfold beside her lover, alcoholic constitutional law professor Thomas Callahan. Where others see tragedy, Darby's legal mind spots patterns. "Someone or some group wants a different Court with an absolute conservative majority," she theorizes. "The election is next year. Why take a chance? Kill them now." This observation sparks her curiosity, sending her deep into the law library while Callahan drowns his sorrows in Scotch. What begins as an academic exercise soon produces a thirteen-page document that will become infamous as "the pelican brief"-a theory so compelling it will shake Washington to its core and put a target on Darby's back.
