Pakula, and starring Julia Roberts in the role of young law student Darby Shaw and Denzel Washington as Washington Herald…

The Pelican Brief is a legal-suspense thriller written by John Grisham. It revolves around a young law student named Darby Shaw who writes a legal brief speculating on the reasons behind the assassination of two Supreme Court justices. Her theory, though intended for academic purposes, draws the attention of the FBI and individuals with high stakes in politics and the legal industry, putting her life in grave danger. As she tries to survive and bring the truth to light, Darby navigates a labyrinth of deception and power that reaches the highest levels of the United States government.

The presence of the full number line including the '1' on the copyright page signifies a first edition for Doubleday.
