There are several different ways to succeed in law. You can get a job at a big law firm and then succeed there. You can start your own law firm and succeed there. You can get a job in government and succeed there.

To succeed, you need to do fairly good work (but not amazing work), and you need to excel at communicating with people, whether they be clients or colleagues within your organization.

Client connections. There are straight-up terrible lawyers who make millions at my firm because they know people at companies who control legal budgets worth tens of millions a year.

This. Gotta know people. Mad Men wouldnt be much different set in a law firm. Lawyers don't drink, but having a connected father-in-law does more for you than Order of the Coif on the resume.

as long as a person has the requisite mental capacity (and it's not as high as many people think), it's probably just ability to strive/grind.

And, honestly, luck. A small segment of people can just endure any amount of grinding, but many who thrive do so because they happen to end up working under quality partners and/or find a niche that fits their skillset and personality well.
