    ATTENTION TO DETAIL - When lawyers draft contracts, a single word in the wrong place can change the emphasis of a clause and possibly the outcome for your client. A lawyer is expected to have a thorough, accurate and meticulous approach to their work. Committing any glaring grammatical or punctuation mistakes on your application form is the easiest way to fast track your application to the rejection pile

    Hi,
    Law as a profession is very demanding and sometimes you might feel you are stuck in a vicious circle of whats right and whats wrong , you need to get going and figure out the right path ,a strong perseverance power is a must.

    Hi Everyone ,
    Convincing skill is a must to be a good lawyer because at the end what matters is whether or not , you are able to convince the judge in favor of your client and on the other hand as a judge it should not be so easy to get you convinced .
    As a judge your final call should be based on the facts and evidences

    HI All,
    Being a lawyer requires you to detach yourself from the emotions/feelings surrounding an event/case, and focus on the objective whole. Thus, many lawyers that I meet are typically dry and dispassionate, as they have trained themselves to stay in this highly unemotional state for their career. It's pretty rare that I run across a lawyer who buzzes with excitement, emotion, and passion for something.

    A lawyer should have great public speaking skills because knowledge and ideas are of no use if you are not able to express your view point clearly at the right time.

    Hi ,
    Law is a profession where there is lot more apart from education qualifications, it requires a typical personality , not everyone can be good lawyer.
    The most important thing to become a good lawyer is analytical thinking and the ability to view every situation from each and every perspective.
