Lawyers' instincts, combined with careful research, allow
them to present clients with a well-reasoned, accurate legal
position: exactly what clients pay for. Seasoned lawyers have
instinct, and a good lawyer might seem to innately know how a
client's case is going to go just based on the facts. This sort
of legal intuition is honed over years of experience in
practice.
Fresh out of law school, new lawyers embark on a journey of
developing their legal intuition by reading, researching, and
handling many cases. Over the course of this development, lawyers
repeatedly see similar cases and internalize the relevant legal
tests, allowing them to quickly judge which facts are applicable
and how a case might go if litigated.
