As a lawyer, there are many differences between being a lawyer and doing other professions. Many people have misunderstandings about the legal profession, but their understanding is not very deep. In fact, as long as the judge can try the case well, the following are the personality characteristics of lawyers.
The personality characteristics of lawyers are keen, observant, intelligent, glib or calm.
The most important thing to be a good lawyer is professional skills. If the EQ is not too low, the personality is not important. After several years of practice, you will find that the fundamental core of lawyers with rich cases is their profession. "Fudge" customers are only exposed from the iceberg on the water, and a large number of invisible pedestals are based on professional experience and skills.
Personality doesn't matter whether it is urgent or slow, introverted or extroverted, it can only affect the practice style. Good lawyers around me are characterized by their strong will and humility, but they are confident in people's judgment and case strategy, do not give in easily, and are thick-skinned and not afraid of being scolded for making a fool of themselves.

Personality characteristics of lawyers 2 What is a good lawyer like?
Be familiar with the law and have justice in your heart.
Every lawyer needs to obtain a legal professional qualification certificate to practice, which shows that lawyers have basically mastered the knowledge of legal theory; However, it does not mean that he is familiar with the law. The life of law lies in practice. It is useless to talk about profound theoretical knowledge without putting it into practice. Therefore, being familiar with the law is the most basic requirement for a good lawyer.
There is justice in the heart. Although the purpose of a lawyer is to serve his clients wholeheartedly, as a legal practitioner, he should have justice in his heart. This kind of justice is a respect for the law and a judgment of the facts. Do not use loopholes to forge evidence, do not use public opinion to vent emotions, and provide legal services based on facts and laws. Lawyers with justice will also provide free legal services to vulnerable groups.
Do things honestly and have integrity.
Lawyers give people the impression that they eat by mouth, which leads many people to comment that lawyers can only talk but not do it; Therefore, a good lawyer must be honest, not bluffing, not routine, honest and sincere.
Sincerely serve the client, so that the client can feel the sincerity, best efforts and responsibility of the lawyer, and the work results are more easily recognized. The parties looking for a lawyer are also based on subjective evaluation. An honest lawyer often has a good reputation and his past performance is not too bad. Honesty may also bring a steady stream of cases.
To let go of fooling, many lawyers think that the client does not understand, deliberately pretending to be profound and fooling the client; In fact, with the development of network information, parties often learn or understand basic laws through other channels. Only by being honest and not fooling can they gain the real trust of the parties.
Healthy and upright, being a lawyer is also a human being. People should look healthy and upright, have a formal image and have a positive exemplary role, so it is easier to get praise.
Personality characteristics of lawyers Three advantages of being a lawyer:
1, free to work at a certain stage (usually the partner stage), free to decide what to do or not to do, free to choose the time and place of work, and free to form your own team.
2. The income is good and relatively stable. The richest people in society are definitely not lawyers, but lawyers are usually richer. Top lawyers earn tens of millions a year, which exceeds the annual income of many listed companies. Moreover, listed companies may have losses and profits, and lawyers are unlikely to lose money.
A good lawyer, a few horses, a few yachts and a private jet are not a problem. Lawyers have good cash flow. On the one hand, lawyers don't have to spend a little money to expand production like entrepreneurs. On the other hand, lawyers' risk awareness is too high, which also leads many lawyers to prefer money to investment. For example, our trip abroad can be summarized in three words: buy while buying.
3. Good social status Although there are many people who scold lawyers, although many lawyers have a hard life and lawyers are not welcomed by various government departments, people are likely to find lawyers several times in their lives, and this society is a money-oriented society, and their income level largely determines their social status.
4. Lawyers don't doubt that law is a system of rules and a system of thinking. This is rare in other occupations. At least for me, after becoming a lawyer, I feel that everything has a solution. Because he is good at using legal weapons, he is likely to be bullied less.
5. Simple interpersonal relationships Generally speaking, lawyers may need to maintain a necessary social network outside the law firm. But within the law firm, interpersonal relationship is relatively simple, because everyone in the law firm has the opportunity to become a partner, unlike the pyramid structure of the company, you have to step on others to get promoted.
Disadvantages of being a lawyer:
1, not free
(1) Unless you don't want to make money, you basically have more and more work and less free time.
(2) As a service provider, it is essentially to earn money by selling time, and it is almost necessary to respond to customers' needs at any time. The so-called freelancers are sometimes just free to choose the time and place to work overtime.
2. Hard work, hard work, lawyers should study for life. Of course, other industries have to learn, but the lawyer industry is particularly good.
3, pressure, whether litigation or non-litigation, pressure will be greater and greater. For non-litigation, the progress of the company's listing may depend on the speed at which you complete the documents; Litigants take people's money to help others eliminate disasters, and all kinds of disputes are piled on lawyers.
As a partner, you should also consider the management, business development and customer maintenance of the law firm. A person has to be the general manager, marketing director, sales director, human resources director, production director and so on in other industries.
4, the threshold is high to be a lawyer, you must first research, in theory, most people can take the judicial examination. But even if you pass the exam, you only pass the first level. The competition in this industry is still fierce, and only a few people can survive and develop. Other industries may have the opportunity to muddle along, and in the lawyer industry, they will basically be eliminated.
5. There is a certain crime of dangerous defenders obstructing testimony, that is, the crime of lawyer perjury, which is a sword hanging over the head of criminal lawyers and may also be a major feature in the judicial field. Personal threats are also common for lawyers, especially prosecuting lawyers, which often have certain risks in their practice.
