As far as I know, no courts still use the Bible for swearing in - your oath is legitimized (in a legal sense) on its own accord.
YMMV in, like, rural Alabama state courts, but who cares?
It would be much funnier to see the Bible whipped out during depositions - court reporters would have to be ordained, it would be a whole scene.
