An idealist confronts the cynicism of his less chivalrous law school classmates as he jousts forward, where his views about the law as an instrument of social justice are greeted with scorn and ridicule among his peers - and at the highest levels of an increasingly politicized judicial system.

A Matter of Principle takes the reader behind the scenes for a realistic look at what the law school experience is like for an idealistic young person wanting to be a lawyer for all the right reasons, only to discover they aren’t. Based on actual events and reporting about the secretive United States Supreme Court, this novel pulls back the curtain to reveal the machinations of men with slanted ideology and personal ambition at an institution at the head of a supposedly apolitical branch of government.

In an increasingly divided country, rather than rise above the fray and interpret the law as they find it, A Matter of Principle shows how judges are jousting just like everyone else, locked in mortal combat against what they perceive to be an unprincipled enemy - an enemy whose ideas are unworthy of thoughtful consideration, espoused by combatants driven by less than chivalrous ideals.
