Have you ever been concerned with the phenomena in our legal system of "dream teams" hired by wealthy but guilty parties that all too often lead to perverse results? Enter LawForce, a government backed, legal SWAT team that balances the scales of justice in cases of national import. "The arc of the moral universe is long,but it bends towards justice."Martin Luther King, Jr. Jonathan Hendrix, the youngest U.S. Attorney General in history, knows that bending the arc won't happen on its own, help is needed. He is determined to curb runaway civil jury awards that are threatening to destabilize the economy. Graduating law school, Steve Shane was a top wall street prospect. Shunning the big firms, he set up his own practice and six years later has developed a solid reputation as a commercial litigator. Hendrix recruits Shane to create LawForce, a government-supported, legal SWAT team to be deployed in key cases where an inequality of counsel threatens bad verdicts. Their first case - Green Action Coalition v. Wildcat Oil & Gas. A medium sized oil and gas company, Wildcat is plagued by an apparently random series of environmental accidents. Not accidents according to the Green Action Coalition, a leader in the new era of aggressive environmental litigation, but evidence of a pattern of negligence. The damages sought by the GAC have the potential to destroy Wildcat. Acting for the GAC is a high-powered team of legal eagles from the blue-chip firm of Todd Ives Tillington, led by senior partner Andrew Tillington III. Wildcat appears hopelessly outclassed . . . then Shane is retained. Shane and LawForce discover they are in for more than just a tough legal battle as they negotiate the twists and turns of the case to its explosive courtroom finale.
