Summer Reading Suggestions (once those pesky finals are out of the way)!

Spring quarter finals are finally underway! For most of you, that probably means you're more concerned right now about memorizing your various outlines. But, in just a few short weeks you'll be free again (I promise, finals will be over before you know it).

If you're dreaming up which books you'll be escaping into this summer, the Gallagher Law Library has a suggestion. Since 2011, the ABA Journal and the University of Alabama Law School have partnered up each year to award one legal fiction book the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction.

Just in time for Summer, this year's finalists have been announced! Even better, after you read the three books YOU can have a say in the prize winner by casting your vote on the ABA's website.

This year's finalists are:

The Wrong Man by David Ellis;

Havana Requiem by Paul Goldstein; and

Defending Jacob by William Landay.

Voting is open until June 30th and you can find out more about each novel from the ABA website linked above.

Happy reading (and good luck on exams!)
