Integral-in Biblical Principles In The Practice OfLaw A s the battle for moral and ethical standards in the legal system rages, it is refreshing to hear ofa law firm that openly advertises: "Integrating Biblical Principles in the Practice of Law." Jannell Decker '81, a biology/premed major at Cedarville College,graduated from Dickinson School ofLaw in Carlisle,Pennsylvania in 1984 and is a partner in the firm of Decker,Decker,and Dudick ofForty Fort,Pennsylvania.She specializes in real estate and estate planning. Because ofthe firm's stand on the Word ofGod, they represent most ofthe Bible-believing churches in the area. Jannell's responsibilities at the firm have greatly increased since the death of her father,the senior partner,last year. Her mother was taken home to heaven several months before his death. Remember to pray for Jannell as she continues the biblical direction ofthe law firm. David _'Steps OutAs Comfit nit Leader A s Missouri State Representative for District 77, David Hale'86 finds daily challenge in serving the public. After earning a B.A.in social science from Cedarville College, Hale's original plans were to study international law in Texas and practice in Brussels or some other European Community country. But the Lord had plans for Dave in public office,representing the people of St. Louis County,20 minutesfrom downtown St. Louis. In 1988 David was the first Republican to win representation of the 9,000 primarily Democratic households in his district. Hale states that during the first campaign his committee knocked on every door at least twice."People vote one at a time and that's how we won the vote,one at a time." He ran for office again in 1990 and anticipates afavorable outcome in the November 1992 elections. Hale has been involved with a number oftask teams and committees concerned with education,abortion,and health care issues. But he states that the number one issue facing his district deals with pulling the state of Missouri into international global markets.Thejoint committee for economic development in which David has been involved recommendseconomic policies that benefit small businesses. Hale believes that through this economic task team he will gain valuable experience which may lead to doors opening toward his original goal ofinternational law. Hale plans to study international business at St. Louis University in 1993.
