What Title Would You Give Your Legal Thriller?
We noted this week that Scott Turow—in addition to the Fox pilot Pleading Guilty that was shot in part outside ABA offices in March—has a sequel to his best-seller Presumed Innocent. It catches up with protagonist Rusty Sabich, now 60 years old, and is titled Innocent.
Turow’s latest hit stores Tuesday.
In Innocent, Sabich is again suspected of murdering one of the women in his life. ABA Journal staffers also noticed that, titlewise, Innocent doesn’t fall too far from the tree. (Will a third book in this trilogy not have a title at all?)
This inspired our challenge to you this week: What title would you give your legal thriller? We also welcome plot details.

1) Posner.
The intersection of economics, business, rational choice, and the common law laid bare in his collected works is nerd crack.
2) Scalia.
Decorum demanded, but never offered in kind. Fantastic. Hard to believe he and Ginsburg are such close friends.
3) Thomas.
I know, no one respects Thomas … He offers good historical storytelling, though. His conclusions are suspect, but if you want a good backstory, he’s the guy. Take another look at Kelo (his dissent, not the group dissent) if you don’t believe me.
