Minter Ellison used to hold drinks during their grad recruitment process for applicants to smooze with the partners. At the end of the night, the number of business cards that each applicant collected then determined whether he or she could progress to the next stage. I wasn't a fan...the environment was too artificial to really test social skills and, in any event, those skills develop at different rates for most people (especially at your early to mid 20s) and can be taught.

Research shows that most lawyers are ISTJ on the Myer-Briggs test. INTJ also occurs with 5 times greater frequency in lawyers than it does in the general population, which is unsurprising as INTJ are described as conceptual, analytical, ambitious, curious, and driven and they are the only one of the 16 types for whom an elevated IQ has been statistically correlated. FWIW my experience is introverts do better in law over the long run (which is not to say that extroverts won't or cannot succeed), unlike in banking for example. They tend to be more resilient at sitting in front of a screen alone for many hours a day doing mundane cognitive tasks. Introverts also naturally tend to build a small number of close relationships. Over the course of a transaction or case, it can lean to them building strong relationships with their client contact(s) and providing repeat instructions for the firm.
