Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… aspiring lawyer Rudy Baylor has his principles, but that’s pretty much all he has at the moment. He’s about to graduate from Memphis State Law School without a well-paying job lined up or a loving family to turn to for help. His desperation leads him to become an associate for J. Lyman Stone, a successful but corrupt personal injury lawyer who turns Rudy into an ambulance-chaser. He isn’t happy about it, but hey, a young man has to earn a living somehow. And who knows? Maybe Rudy will be able to turn his sketchy profession into something worthwhile. Maybe.
Personality… idealistic and compassionate. Rudy is a rare specimen within the lower-level litigation industry. Unlike many of his money-grabbing colleagues, he wants to use the law to protect the helpless and the wronged. Unfortunately, ethics often seem to be more of a burden than an asset in the courtroom or the arena of bare-knuckles street law, but Rudy is determined to stay true to his beliefs.
