They represent people in court, presenting evidence that supports a client's position, asking questions, and arguing their case. Lawyers must do research to find the information they need to support their cases. They must have good reading, writing, and speaking skills. http://www.xpmath.com/careers/jobsresult.php?gro upID=2&jobID=49 Inductive & deductive reasoning skills
