Grisham is a member of the University Baptist Church in Charlottesville, Virginia, itself a constituent of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.

Hero of Another Story: At the beginning of the story, two of Mitch's coworkers, Kozinski and Hodge, are trying to escape from the firm's grasp and are scheming to help the FBI bring down the Amoral Attorneys. This gets them killed before they can appear onscreen. On June 8, 2011, it was announced that Josh Lucas had been cast in the lead role of Mitch McDeere. [24] On July 12, Entertainment One announced the casting of Callum Keith Rennie as Ray McDeere and Juliette Lewis as Tammy. [15] The addition of Molly Parker as Abby McDeere was announced on July 29. [13] Natasha Calis was cast as Claire McDeere, Mitch and Abby McDeere's daughter. Parker had previously played Calis' mother in the 2011 Lifetime film, Gone. [25] Then, Tricia Helfer and Shaun Majumder were added in recurring roles as Alex Clarke and Andrew Palmer on August 19 and 22. [16] [26] As of 22August2011 [update], the show was under production. [27] Although mostly shot in Toronto, the production has included other host cities such as Washington, D.C. [28] As of 3November2011 [update], eight of the 22 episodes had been shot, according to Grisham. [29] The movie is virtually an anthology of good small character performances. Ed Harris, sinister with a shaved head, needs only a couple of brief scenes to convincingly explain the FBI's case against the Firm - and to reveal its cheerful willingness to subject a potential witness to unendurable pressure. Another effective performance is by David Strathairn, as the brother McDeere hasn't told the Firm about, because he's doing time for manslaughter. Rewrite: In the movie, Mitch and Abby get to drive away from the firm (and Memphis) without exposing the firm's ties to organized crime. In the novel, after Mitch does expose the firm's ties to the mob, they get to spend their lives in exile sailing a yacht around the Caribbean.He also stated that it was his daughter, Shea, who inspired him to write the Theodore Boone series. "My daughter Shea is a teacher in North Carolina and when she got her fifth grade students to read the book, three or four of them came up afterwards and said they'd like to go into the legal profession."

Also, in the book, Eddie's old secretary, Tammy, seduces and drugs Avery. In the movie, however, it is Abby who seduces Avery. This also changes the character development because in the movie Abby is portrayed as risking herself for Mitch. In the book, Abby is simply an accomplice to Tammy. On February 3, 2012, NBC announced that the series would be pulled from its Thursday 10/9c slot immediately, and placed on Saturdays at 9/8c starting on February 18; Global continued to air the series at the former time slot until March 3, when the show was moved to Saturdays. [2] AXN began broadcasts in over 125 territories and countries on February 19. [3]

In 2005, Grisham received the Peggy V. Helmerich Distinguished Author Award, which is presented annually by the Tulsa Library Trust. [21] Pet the Dog: The Moroltos get a moment of this when Mitch has the audacity to show up on their doorstep with a proposition when the only reason they were in town was to kill him.
