1. As Mitch reviewed the brief for the fourth time that night, he felt his brain glaze over.
2. The senior partner studied the resume for the hundredth time and again found nothing he disliked about Mitchell Y. McDeere, at least not on paper.
3. Surprising as it might seem, music nostalgia is far from the largest area of business activity in Memphis.
4. Finally, the years of sacrifice had paid off.
5. A junior associate at a typical law firm generally puts in around one hundred hours of work each week for the first three years of his career.
6. The plain business envelope gave no hint that its contents were about to change Mitch McDeere's life forever.
7. Washing dishes paid the rent.
8. It was going to be another difficult afternoon.
9. Mitch knew that Memphis was a wonderful place to raise his family, but it was turning out to be a horrible place to be a lawyer.
10. The day after Mitch McDeere graduated from Harvard, he found an envelope in his mailbox.
