From the Paper:
" John Grisham's A Time to Kill is a powerful courtroom drama that examines the difference between social justice and moral justice in a small town in Mississippi. Given the legacy of segregation and racism in the south, it describes both the emotional and complex legal issues of fairness and equality in the eyes of the law. The story is about a young white lawyer, who successfully defends a black man, clearly guilty of killing the two white men who raped his ten year old daughter. Both the novel and film version are riveting dramas, and their major differences lie in the context of the two mediums.The basic difference between a novel and a screenplay is that the former can indulge in the luxury of full descriptive passages and the latter must adhere to a very specific structure."
