Trial practice lessons from poker 
An article in the March ABA Journal discusses lessons that lawyers can learn from poker, including how to read people's reactions (at the card table or in the jury box) and how to negotiate without showing your cards (literally, in the case of poker, or figuratively, in most other cases). Pete Hume, Courtroom Card Sharks, ABA J., March 2005. [April 2006: the link to the article on the ABA's website no longer works. Remember that the ABA Journal is available in print, on Westlaw, and on LexisNexis.]
