First-year law student James T. Hart finds that his laid-back Midwestern upbringing has not prepared him for the high intensity of his new Ivy League law school, where Prof. Charles Kingsfield Jr., the world's leading authority on contract law, seems to take an intense dislike to him. Hart finds kindred spirits, however, in a study group organized by Franklin Ford III, who aspires to become a third-generation lawyer in his socially prominent family.
