Grisham earned a degree in accounting from Mississippi State University and a Juris Doctor degree in 1981 from the University of Mississippi.

Grisham continued to write legal thrillers, with some of his most popular novels including The Pelican Brief, The Client, and The Runaway Jury. His writing career extended beyond legal thrillers and showcased his versatility with novels like A Painted House and Skipping Christmas. Grisham's novels have inspired several successful screen adaptations, such as The Firm starring Tom Cruise, which grossed over $270 million worldwide and earned critical acclaim. Other notable adaptations include The Pelican Brief, A Time to Kill, The Rainmaker, and The Client.
