Hi
It might depend on what religious background your attorney is looking
for: Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant/Independent.
It also depends on what your attorney plans to do with it. If your
attorney is looking for a formal well-known translation to quote at a
gathering, perhaps the
King James will be best. If your attorney wants a modern English
translation, the New International Version or New Living Translation or The
Message may do.
If your attorney wants to do a word study the New American Standard or
Revised Standard could be the ticket.
I am from a Protestant\Independent background so what I gave as
suggestions also come from that background. If you are looking for a
Catholic Bible, I think there is a translation called the New American
Bible or American Bible, but you will have to verify that. Unfortunately I
do not remember what the Eastern Orthodox use, but I am sure you can phone
a local Church and ask.
If you have 1 or 2 passages to look up you can use the Internet and go
to http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible. You can look up different
translations at that web site.
Hope this helps.

Greetings,
A patron (attorney) asked for a copy of the Bible. It seems I should have
one. Does anyone have one in their court/county library? Any suggestions on
what to get?
Many thanks,
