<p>I think being shy is a relative term subject to many interpretations. I know attorneys who are like Bruce Cutler and are very sucessful, make tons of money and aren’t a lot of fun to be around. I also know attorneys who might be percieved as introverted and are effective. Having said that if you don’t like conflicts or confrontations then you might want to reconsider your career choices. Law professors, fellow students and partners can be demanding so if you can’t tolerate this look for something else.</p>
