Hilda Hartmann asked John Grisham:

Your book Run Away Jury was made into a fantastic movie based in New Orleans, LA. How did you come up with the story and what made you decide on the setting of New Orleans?

John Grisham I love New Orleans and have since I was a college boy at Mississippi State and we assaulted the town for football games. I’ve used It many times in my books. Runaway was inspired by the idea of a person stalking litigation to get on a jury to manipulate the verdict. And the movie was very well done.
