Creativity

Some of the best cases in history were won using creative methods. While it is important for lawyers to be analytical and understand the tedious parts of their job, like the aforementioned paperwork and documentation, it is also important that they are able to think about the problem critically and come up with a solution that might not be obvious. Especially in the courtroom, it is important to be able to think on your feet and combat the other side’s argument at the drop of a hat and come up with a solution that puts your client in the best situation possible. It’s not only lawyers who can be creative - judges have handed out some pretty creative sentences over the years as well.
