Instructions
Step 1
You can't hide anything from your client.
Honesty is one of the main character traits that a really great lawyer should have. By deceiving your client, you can hardly win respect and honor among your colleagues; and by deceiving the judge, you are first of all lying to yourself.
Step 2
Think carefully about the accusatory position.
Honesty is not the only criterion for choosing a quality lawyer. A good lawyer must objectively assess his strength: for example, another person has to admit that a lawyer's career is not his path, or that the position of the prosecution is the best that he can do.
Step 3
Respond in time to what is happening around you.
Keeping abreast of all events is an important skill in the fight for the title of a successful lawyer. If possible, you need to react as quickly as possible to all amendments, changes, additions. And in order to obtain the information necessary in the profession, one should not hesitate to use any sources: no media, no TV, no radio.
Step 4
Monitor your emotions.
It is often very difficult for young lawyers to hide their excitement, indignation or doubt about the positive outcome of the case. It should be admitted that in Russia one cannot become a good lawyer without the quality of a psychologist, because this profession is 95% connected with communication.
Step 5
Stay fit.
Maintaining physical fitness is very important for a true expert in his field, because without the proper level of endurance, it is not possible to cope with the hard work of a lawyer.
