Multiply 46,000 by 5, you get, 230,000. With our population of 300 million, we have 1.3 million lawyers.

If lawyer employment is threatened with a fifth our per capita lawyer supply, what would happen if notaries sought to divorce people here?

“Lawyers’ groups contend the measure would deprive lawyers of an important source of revenues.”

Apparently it really is about the money.
