Being a "good attorney" is different than being a good judge.
I disagree.
A good attorney will analyze the case from both sides. Obviously building his or her own case but ferreting out the weaknesses in the case by in effect building the other side's case as well. You have to anticipate arguments from the other side in order to address them first. You have your facts, you apply them to the law and most of the time if you took the case for sound reasons, you will prevail.
A good judge is likewise able to analyze both sides and apply the law. The skills are similar. I know very few "bad attorneys" who make "good judges" and very few "good attorneys" who make "bad judges".
