2007 ABA SURVEY ON LAWYER DISCIPLINE SYSTEMS (SOLD)
Introduction to 2007 SOLD Results
The ABA Survey on Lawyer Discipline Systems questionnaire for 2007 was sent to 56 lawyer disciplinary agencies. All responded to the questionnaire. Medians and averages are shown where potentially meaningful. In most instances, averages have been rounded to the nearest whole number.
The 2007 Survey consists of nine charts arranged alphabetically by jurisdiction, with explanatory footnotes. These charts were compiled from statistics reported to the ABA by the jurisdictions. Where exact figures were not available estimated figures were provided and noted with an asterisk. The abbreviation "N/A" means that the data was not available or applicable.
Questions regarding the Survey should be addressed to Ellyn S. Rosen, Associate Regulation Counsel, ABA Center for Professional Responsibility, 321 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60654-7598, (312) 988-5311, rosene@staff.abanet.org.
