Most people do not have the patience or the energy to do this. Also one needs to acquire a skill at debating and to use this skill to make a point to the jury. This kind of skill cannot be taught in class and its mastery happens slowly over time. People have to be born with the knack for it combined with intense effort makes a good debater.

Trial lawyers take cases across a wide range of areas that include corporate, family, and financial arenas (Center for Professional Responsibility).
