Minnesota Lawyer Profiles Terry Newby—Litigation Attorney, Produced Playwright, and Debut Novelist

January 29, 2021

Terry Newby, partner in Maslon's Litigation Group, is featured by Minnesota Lawyer in an interview titled "Breaking the Ice: Writing hobby complements Newby's practice." The article highlights Terry's work as a produced playwright currently revising his first novel about a freed slave, believed to be a distant relative, who was the first raider killed in John Brown's 1859 attack on Harpers Ferry.

Terry shares, "I like to write plays where the audience is dropped in the middle of a scene without knowing what's happening. That's basically litigation. You're dropped in the middle of a problem and you have to figure it out." He notes that the combination of storytelling and problem solving, and how those skills are intertwined, are what he enjoys most about his legal practice.
