There is always training in public speaking and confidence (toastmasters etc.). But you do not have to be a litigator and in fact, many firms will not let you lititgate if they do not feel you have to have the right skills set. Litigation is usually considered an elite department because you have know at once the substantive law as well as procedural law cold and be able to raise objections based on evidence. This is why trial lawyers tend to be the top earners.
