Michael P. Maslanka, the managing partner of the Dallas office of Ford & Harrison, has published A Summertime Reading List to Help GCs Shine, which points out a number of books that should prove interesting reading for all inhouse attorneys.  His suggestions range from non-fiction to fiction and include books that will help you work better with people and provide legal services more effectively. 

Here are two books that Michael points to that we’ve added to our lists at InhouseBlog:

1. Why Business People Speak Like Idiots: A
Bullfighter’s Guide, by Brian Fugere, Chelsea
Hardaway and Jon Warshawsky; and

2.  Don Watson’s Death Sentences: How Cliches, Weasel Words and Management-Speak Are Strangling Public Language.
