How many lawyers are in each state?
How many lawyers are there in the U.S? How about the total number of lawyers in each state? I thought it would be a fun exercise to see just how many lawyers there in each state. This is a list of what my research revealed: California: Approximately 190,000 active lawyers. New York: Approximately 180,000 active lawyers. Texas: Over 110,000 active lawyers. Florida: Over 107,000 active lawyers. Illinois: Around 66,000 active lawyers. District of Columbia: Around 60,000 active lawyers. Pennsylvania: Approximately 54,000 active lawyers. Massachusetts: Around 43,000 active lawyers. New Jersey: Approximately 38,000 active lawyers. Ohio: Around 36,000 active lawyers. Michigan: Approximately 34,000 active lawyers. Georgia: Around 33,000 active lawyers. Virginia: Approximately 32,000 active lawyers. North Carolina: Around 31,000 active lawyers. Washington: Approximately 28,000 active lawyers. Maryland: Around 26,000 active lawyers. Minnesota: Approximately 25,000 active lawyers. Colorado: Around 24,000 active lawyers. Arizona: Approximately 22,000 active lawyers. Connecticut: Around 19,000 active lawyers. Tennessee: Approximately 18,000 active lawyers. Missouri: Around 18,000 active lawyers. Wisconsin: Approximately 17,000 active lawyers. Alabama: Around 17,000 active lawyers. Louisiana: Approximately 16,000 active lawyers. Oregon: Around 15,000 active lawyers. Indiana: Approximately 15,000 active lawyers. Kentucky: Around 14,000 active lawyers. South Carolina: Approximately 14,000 active lawyers. Iowa: Around 12,000 active lawyers. How many of these are personal injury lawyers? The internet doesn’t say. But considering the amount of billboards popping up, I’d say a large percentage of those lawyers are ambulance chasers.
