The youthful legal profession shifts its political perspective and resists contraction

Evidence

Changes have also occurred in the composition of the legal profession. One obvious effect of recent trends has been a decline in the median age of those practicing law. This generational change may affect the political perspective of the legal profession, as expressed by the American Bar Association and other legal institutions. Further, with a smaller proportion of the profession closer to retirement age, future increases in the number of attorneys are unlikely to be offset by retirements or deaths within the profession. — G.
