Whether it makes them better lawyers compared to those who are not, is not at all clear.
I can imagine that for a lawyer, rationalization is a more important skill than rationality. You get rewarded for convincing the judge and jury that your client is right, not for figuring out the truth.
I wonder what are the incentives for judges, though.
