What makes a good litigator?

Because you appear in court and write legal briefs, litigators must have skills in both oral and written communication. Honing these skills is necessary to pass law school. In this career, you must also be able to communicate with clients and with other lawyers representing the opposing side. The ability to research and come up with coherent, comprehensive legal arguments is also vital for this job. Finally, to be an excellent litigator, you must be able to negotiate and convince clients to accept negotiated settlements when they are in their favor.
