Background

The book centers around a law clerk for an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. After the justice becomes gravely ill, the law clerk becomes his legal guardian. Abrams commented the inspiration for the book came from a conversation with her mother, in which her mother noted Article Three of the United States Constitution allows for a lifetime appointment for justices, but "has no failsafe for a person being physically unable to do the job."[2]
