Congrats on BOTD!
Tim Greaney's "St. Sebastian School of Law" provides an incisive look at the nexus of learning, the law, and morality. The plot investigates corruption, intellectual integrity, and moral quandaries inside organizations through likable individuals like Father Balducci and McNeely.

I'm not much of a fan of philosophical diatribes, but satire is a tried and true way to make social commentary more palatable. And the topics broached are pertinent and thought-provoking. Thank you for your review.

Law is a complicated subject. There are so many loopholes inside it. So many people can avoid paying for their mistakes by just finding a loophole. Congratulations on the BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

Tim Greaney's "St. Sebastian School of Law" is book filled with legal drama, academic as well as socioeconomic concerns. It brings to focus the operations, funding, and the organization of a law school in dire need for recognition. It also offers an insightful introspection into the ethics of the academia and law. An interesting review.

This is a very informative review, Kebun. I sampled the opening chapter where Father Balducci was discussing the construction of the arena for St. Sebastian School of Law and fundraising issues with Bucky. I have yet to read about the moral ethics you mention in the review, but I noticed the theme of importance of money for educational institutions you mention in the review. It feels like a very good read, and the introspective musings you mention feel appealing.

The book seems very informative in the educational and legal fields. I like that it dwells on such topics as corruption, the impact of money in education, and the educational ethical responsibilities which are very important nowadays. It will definitely provide lots of food for contemplation. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

A great read. :techie-studyinggray: the ways reviewer comments on the parts of the book where it highlights its authentication is superb. Also the book despite being fictional creates atmosphere of realism. I liked how in one single book it tackles so many social problems and ethical issues. Also the law of our world, it describes the authenticity of it and its value.
