While in the movies it looks like attorneys play the “hero” card, and pull rabbits out of the hat to score unexpected or last-minute victories, in reality most cases are worked on by a team of people. Each person in this team puts in dozens of hours on things like background research, investigation, fact checking, and other types of preparation for legal transactions or trials.
Lawyers need to be able to work well with others, therefore, and contribute effectively in a team environment.
