The Burden Of Proof #1

The book I will be reading is The Burden Of Proof I have chosen this book because I am interested in law and mystery, and that is was the blurb on the book cover seemed to entail. The author of this book is Scott Turow, who also wrote Presumed Innocent, which I have not read, however it includes the same characters, but a different plot. This book was also made into a television mini-series in 1991. The protagonist in the story is lawyer Sandy Stern, whose wife dies in the story and Stern starts to realize things about his family that he never knew. The book's genre is classified as legal thriller and a Crime Novel. After talking to my dad about this book, he told me that one of Scott Turow's first book's One L, which was about Turow's first year at Harvard Law School, the character Sandy Stern was used as an alias for my dad's old boss, and it then became sort of a running joke, as he would use it in most of his novels for the main character. One question I have is that I am not sure if this book will mostly focus on Sandy's work with law, or if the book will focus on more of an emotional standpoint of Sandy's interaction with his family.
