The Fall of the House of Zeus chronicles the meteoric rise and mythic-proportioned
fall of the Mississippi trial lawyer, Dickie Scruggs. Professor Wilkie is currently
the Overby Fellow and Kelly G. Cook Chair of Journalism at the University of
Mississippi. Fall, which was
reviewed in the Summer 2011 edition of
The Verdict,
shows how Scruggs, arguably at one time the nation’s wealthiest trial lawyer, ends
his legal career in shame as a convicted felon, largely because of uncontrollable
greed. Professor Wilkie has graciously offered to sign The Fall of the House of Zeus,
which will be available for purchase in the meeting room through A Capella Books.
