Under almost all legal systems lawyers need prodigious and meticulous memories for things like case law, estoppel procedures, usage conventions and such minutiae of observance. If you have a natural love of collecting - things or facts - this is one of your best possible starts for a legal career.
A lawyer will also benefit from being relatively thick-skinned (people can be mean in the course of legal proceedings) and not too individualistic in either his opinions or his judgements.
Overall a lawyer needs to be someone who is clever, but perhaps not very exciting.
(Of course, a lawyer is entitled to be exciting on his own time).
