The major problem of this study is to elucidate how the law deviation is reflected in John Grisham’s The King of Torts. The objectives of the study are to analyze the structural elements of the novel and to analyze the novel based on sociological perspective. In conducting this study, the researcher uses qualitative research that the data are based on primary source, the novel John Grisham’s The King of Torts and secondary sources, such as John Grisham’s biography and other data which deal with the research. In analyzing the data, she applies two approaches. The first, structural analysis approach is used to analyze the elements of the novel. They consist of characterization, setting, point of view, plot, style and theme. The second, the sociological approach, is used to analyze the relationship between novel and the social condition in American society. These approaches are applied in order to have the appropriate analysis and answer the problems. Based on the analysis, the researcher draws some conclusions. Firstly, The King of Torts is a description of mass tort lawyer life that is full of dirty ways to winning his cases, he are more interested in the money rather than the truth of the cases and it is the one of John Grisham novel, which concerns with law. At the time, people use any kind ways to get their wants, desires, and goals, even using any kind dirty ways. Secondly, the author criticizes the phenomenon that happens in the law deviation. In which the law completion is always colored by dirty way to close the mass tort cases with much money outside the court. That is why Grisham criticizes the phenomenon of the law defender who works for public, wants to get better life and becomes betrayer for money although he knows the truth.
