A lawyer who is tired of practicing law closes the old family law firm and opens a used record store on the premises. Across the street from the local courthouse, The Courthouse Record Store becomes a focal point for the town's losers, among whom is a young man about to be railroaded into prison on a "three-strikes-you're-out" law wielded by an ambitious prosecutor. The store's proprietor comes out of retirement to defend his otherwise friendless customer. The Courthouse Record Store is a portrait of small-town life, small-town law and a lawyer who would rather listen to "I Fought the Law" than practice it.
Author Gary Britson is a lawyer and record collector in Des Moines, Iowa.
