Aside from devoting %100 of your time to the homeless for the benefit of society, one of the more minor themes is justice. In the end, The Drake and Sweeney firm decides to pay reparations for the wrongful evictions of all 17 evictees, along with a hefty fee for the dead family, and punish Michael for his theft.  Throughout the book, the focus of Michael’s actions is on justice for a cause he believes to be valid, along with the eventual thought that he, too, will come clean as soon as he has no need for the file in the lawsuit.

“Mordecai’s latest onslaught was nothing short of brilliant. There was a noticeable relaxing in the Drake & Sweeney group. He had given them a way out.” pg. 438
