Short Story Summary: “Michael’s Room” by John Grisham

Eight years ago:

Clanton, Mississippi lawyer Stanley Wade defended Dr. Trane against a lawsuit by the family of a severely disabled (and disfigured) 3 year old boy.

Lawyer Wade won the courtroom battle.

The family got nothing.

Now:

Lawyer Wade is at the local Rite Price picking up frozen pizza to share with his flu-bound wife.

In the parking lot, Lawyer Wade is abducted by gun-toting Jim Cranwell and taken to a house, and a room, that is now a courtroom with a jury and an 11 year old severely disabled (and disfigured) boy.

Lawyer Wade is on trial…….for his life.
