Law and Chess are very similar.
Why lawyers aren’t normal

I haven't checked out the link yet, but I think that the most common characteristic found among law students is that we are all over achievers. We'll do whatever it takes, w/in the bounds of ethics, to win or make the deal go through. We're politely aggressive.
I would not use the term "over achievers," which means that a person is performing at a level beyond their tested capabilities. For example, I suppose most law students have rather high IQ's, therefore it is normal for them to have the mental capability of studying, understanding and practicing law.
I have noticed many arguments against online law schools. I suppose I should remind some of the posters that there are many who have the mental capabilities of studying law, but perhaps not other qualifications such as the ability to relocate or commute, the lack of other commitment which would allow them to put full effort into law school, or the physical stamina which would assist them in acquiring the regular three year degree, or a four year degree (part time). And then, there are some who want to study law simply because they enjoy learning.
