It is well established that lawyers tend to "lack sensitivity to human, emotional and interpersonal concerns." The unfortunate irony is that "their work is inextricably involved in interpersonal conflicts and issues". It doesn't help that "data suggests a regression in legal ethics as a result of the practice of law."
An attorney's own personality is "pivotal in potentially having a negative effect on the people they serve." In divorce/family law, attorneys with an "impersonal attitude" and an "indifference to their outer world, including other people" cause a great deal of damage to families. "That damage is sometimes irreversible and otherwise can take a great deal of therapy to reverse," said Mark B. Baer, a Los Angeles family law attorney. As a result, it has been suggested that motivation testing be used to ensure that lawyers and judges will be "good fits for the position."
In order to provide quality legal representation, attorneys "need to do what they can to reduce conflict and promote a divorce environment that helps their client remain focused, calm, and goal-directed."
