Complete story — includes the ending
Will takes on the defamation case of wunderkind internet billionaire Patric Edelstein, the 25-year-old founder of Sleuth.com. Edelstein is suing the makers of a biopic that he claims is defaming him, and while Will knows the case will be a tough sell, he also knows that he can milk this "cash cow" for hundreds of billable hours. After meeting with Edelstein in the deposition, however, Will begins believing in him. After a talk with Honeycutt, the cynical lawyer representing the film studio, Will resolves to try and win the long-shot defamation case instead of just trying to milk it for the cash. While meeting with the screenwriter, though, Will gets a better idea: challenging on the basis of Patric's right to publicity. If he claims that the studio is usurping Patric's right to control his own publicity, he can get a settlement without proving the much-more-difficult defamation claim.
