The Bible, as literature, can help illuminate lawyers' legal lives, especially some of its dicier parts, says Ford & Harrison managing partner Michael Maslanka. The Bible -- beliefs aside -- gives lawyers what they crave: a good story with a strong establishing shot, an arc and a resolution. Trial lawyers should take note, says Maslanka, who points out several passages helpful to attorneys. And the Bible also reminds lawyers that there is a difference between what is legal and what is right.
