If you are a litigator, you need to be able to SEE an issue from all sides, and anticipate as many ways to approach it as possible knowing your opposing counsel will be doing the same. Settling cases takes creativity as well, as you are trying to find solutions that parties with opposing interests (and often emotionally charged interests) are able to accept.

Dear student, Most of the everyday practice of law does not require much if any memorization. However, you are asking whether someone who isn't good at memorization can become a lawyer. To become an attorney in most states, you need to pass the bar exam. Unlike most law school exams, the bar is closed book. There are (at least in Illinois) three components: a writing exercise, a multiple choice test, and a set of essay questions. The essay questions would be most likely to trip up someone with poor memorization skills, because the candidate must state the elements of a wide range of legal tests before applying those elements to the fac

Dear Student, You prepare by making sure you know everything there is to know about the facts of your case and the relevant law. You want to be able to answer any question that the judges might throw at you. Assuming you are trying before a panel of judges as opposed to a jury. Memorize the points that you need to make. Also, try to think about what the opposing side will argue. Think about the strengths and weaknesses in your own case, as well as the strength and weaknesses in their case. Moot court cases are always written in such a way that either side could win. That means both sides have a lot of weaknesses and a lot of strengths.

A lawyer is capable of earning several times more than any judge. A lawyer of certain standing, ie the ones capable of being considered for appointment as judge of the High Court, can earn far more as lawyers than they can ever earn as judges, even if they reach Supreme Court level. Becoming a judge brings with it a significant reduction of your earnings. However, what you gain in the process is a great deal of prestige, and the chance to actually make a difference. The position in society that a judge has is far greater than that of a lawyer, and the role he plays is also a lot greater. There is honor and dignity in the position that
