Contrary to the opinions stated above, not all lawyers are self-centred evil people (try telling that to a human rights defence lawyer who earns less than a bin man to the solicitor who volunteers at the citizens’ advice centre). It is true that to be a successful lawyer you have to be academic, analytical, eloquent, hard working etc. But on top of this you have to possess a good measure of common sense and social aptitude. |

I honestly belive that you have to be an ****** to be one.
There is one in my family. And my law professors were evil.
Those people are all so mean! I think they teach them that in school. I've never met a nice laywer. |

To be a lawyer, you have to be convinving and stubborn in a way so no one can trick into agreeing with them when you already have a mindset. You need to be very outgoing, not afraid of talking in front of big audiences. You have to be very cutthroat and speak up your mind without caring how people will react. Basically you have to be a straight forward, cold hearted *****. |

Well you have to be a good talker, so language skills are imperative. Also you should be able to argue both sides of an argument convincingly.
For example: Did Barry Bonds cheat? You need to be able to argue yes he did and convince your friend. Then you need to be able to argue no he didn't and convince your other friend. If you can do that, and you get As in your English classes, then you have the aptitude to be a lawyer. |

To be a lawyer, you must have strong leadership skills and be a prompt and educated speaker because there is a lot of public and social speaking done. You should be strong-willed. |

Like Zap said, a Type A is a good personality fit. You've got to be very aggressive and extroverted at times, as well as eloquent and able to control your emotions. You also have to be intelligent and hard-working, and also must have a lot of patience. |
