Re: How many lawyers are licensed to practice law in the United States?
According to the American Bar Association, there were 1,116, 967 licensed attorneys in June of 2006. The number rose to 1,128,729 by the end of 2006, and grew to 1,143,358 by the end of 2007. Number of lawyers for each state in those years can be found on "Lawyers By State" on the ABA Website.
More info available at ABA website: Links to statistics and research about lawyers and the legal profession Market Research Department (MRD): Statistical Resources Numerous resources for research and statistics about lawyers and the legal profession are readily available. The resources have been organized into the following categories. (To to view the listing click the link above.) Lawyers Statistics
Law Firms Statistics
See also WikiAnswers.com Q&A... WikiAnswers - What is the total number of lawyers in the US Unfortunately, both the American Bar Association and American Bar Foundation are unaware of non-practicing lawyer statistics. This statistic is a tough one to come by. A rep from Forbes magazine who does a lot of the legal writing for the magazine agrees with this, citing that the definitions of "non-practicing" could be ambiguous and difficult to nail to a demographic. |
