Ten Easy Ways to be a Christian Lawyer

1) Stick a Bible on your desk

2) Put a fish in your ad

3) Keep some tracts in your conference room

4) Sponsor your church bulletin

5) Post a Scripture verse on your wall

6) Join the Christian Legal Society

7) Promise clients you'll pray for them

8) Buy a listing in the Shepherd's Guide

9) Make special visits to accident victims

10) Close your office on Good Friday

I could go on, but hopefully you get the idea. I'm not knocking these things, I've done most of them myself. But alone they are empty gestures or, worse, self-serving deceptive posturing.

Being a Christian lawyer is never that easy, never that simple. And it's probably going to cost you a lot more than the price of sponsoring the church bulletin.
