TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Three books have been named as finalists for the 2015 Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction.
The trio was announced Friday by the University of Alabama School of Law and the American Bar Association’s magazine ABA Journal.
The prize annually recognizes a work of fiction focused on lawyers’ role in society. It was created five years ago to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
The finalists are: “Terminal City” by Linda Fairstein, “My Sister’s Grave” by Robert Dugoni, and “The Secret of Magic” by Deborah Johnson.
The winner will receive their award at a ceremony on Sept. 3 in conjunction with the Library of Congress National Book Festival. Four judges and a public vote through the ABA Journal website will determine the winner.
