Scott Douglas Gerber, law professor at Ohio Northern University, will discuss his latest novel, “The Art of The Law,” at 7 p.m., Monday, Feb. 24, at the Ada Public Library.
Topic of the presentation will be, “Why a law professor writes fiction.” The program is free and open to the public.
While in law school, Gerber read some novels by Attorney John Grisham (legal mysteries). He liked the genre and thought he’d give novel writing a try.
“I feel I have a different perspective as a law professor than a trial lawyer might have,” said Gerber.

I have been known to quote Mama Bear from the Berenstain Bears books.
Not only is she always calm, collected and right (sorry daddies), but she speaks some great pearls of wisdom. She also knows when NOT to speak or intervene, allowing her cubs (or Papa) to learn for themselves.
I quote Mama Bear when I’m instructing my children about tattletales: “Tattling is telling just to be mean” according to Mama Bear, and she goes on to explain that telling on someone because you’re worried about them is different from tattling (from The Berenstain Bears learn about strangers).
