Selected by Brad Meltzer

Brad Meltzer wrote his breakout novel, The Tenth Justice, while in law school. By the time he graduated, he was a New York Times best-selling author. Over the next 20 years, Meltzer never practiced law but became the only author to ever have best-sellers in fiction, nonfiction, advice, children’s books and comic books.

“Yes, she’s green. Yes, she’s a Hulk—the Hulk’s cousin actually—but for me, this was the best law-related reading I’ve had in a long time. Writer Charles Soule is a lawyer himself—and, best of all, knows exactly which tropes to embrace and which to leave behind. If you like superheroes and the law, look no further. Jennifer Walters is a strong female hero who’s never played as a joke. She’s also surrounded by some of the best minor characters anywhere. Go. Buy. Smash.”
