One of my colleagues at my former college is pursuing law. She is keen on becoming a lawyer. I have seen her closely and know that she will become a good lawyer. A good lawyer should have good reasoning power and the strength to sustain pressure and stress. Humor not only keeps stress at bay, but also makes your case stronger in the eyes of jury and judges. If you are able to see both sides of the coin, then you can be a good lawyer, because which ever side you represent, you will have your preparations ready. Need not to say that the more argumentative you are, the more successful you will be as a lawyer.
Besides an attorney should have through knowledge of his field and should be able to refer to different sections of the law without consulting the books. I have advised her to look out for San Diego business law, where she will definitely learn new and innovative strategies.
