"The Firm"- the movie

Was there an intended inside joke going on with this movie? I've never noticed discussion, specifically....the dead lawyers.....

"Robert Lamm" and "Alice Krauss". There was another name as well that I haven't yet tied to a musician name.

I remember seeing the movie in a theater when it was released, seeing the names under the lawyer portraits and sort of snickering to myself.

 

Those are the names used in the book as well so who knows...

 

Certainly possible Grisham was a Chicago fan. Would he have known Alison Krauss in the late 80's when working on this novel? She had two solo albums out at that point, but I don't know how well she was known.
