Yeah, but this thread is discussing young people who are about to become lawyers. They won’t become TOP partners or headas of firm for decades, if ever, and in the meantime, they may indeed need technical expertise to work in the field they want (or in the one where they can find work).

Sales and street smarts might be assets, but especially when starting out they will actually also need a basic knowledge of law, which is exactly what they teach in law school.
