^^ You are incorrect. It really depends on the field of law how “technical” it is. Much of my practice (in-house) required reasoning, business judgment and diplomacy. There were times I needed technical legal knowledge (statutes, regulations, etc) and a few times (negotiations) when I needed to be a sales person. It’s a mix. If you need to bring in business, yes, you need to sell yourself and your firm. If you are doing tax law, you better be pretty technical!
