Lawyers are top earners: Economic Census data show attorneys lead professionals in revenue

Article Abstract:

The 1992 Census of Service Industries shows legal services to be the fourth largest of twelve categories, but with the highest revenue per employee. A breakdown of professional services places legal services behind only medical offices in annual revenue, at $108.4 billion, and behind only computer services in revenue per employee, at $109,476. Some 60% of all law-firm revenue comes from seven states and the District of Columbia, the latter having four times more law services per resident than any state.

Report criticizes hiring of Rose firm

Article Abstract:

A report issued July 31, 1995, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp's inspector general harshly criticized the agency's hiring of the Rose Law Firm to investigate the collapse of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan Assn. The report noted both actual and possible conflicts of interest for the Little Rock, AR, firm, which once employed first lady Hillary Clinton. It also found $150,000 in overbillings, three times the amount admitted by former Rose partner Webster L. Hubbell. Rose denies the allegations.
