In 1995, there were almost 20,000 board-certified lawyers in the United States. By 2009 that number increased to more than 35,000 lawyers. [1] According to the American Bar Association's research in 2008 there were 1,180,386 attorneys licensed to practice law in the United States. [2] Of these the ABA estimates 74% are in private practice; thus approximately 4% of practicing lawyers are currently board certified by states or ABA accredited agencies. Moreover,there are now seven private organizations with ABA-accredited certification programs, 12 state sponsored certification plans and eight state sponsored plans to accredit private certifiers. [3] Today attorney board certificaction is now available in 49 specialty fields by certifying agencies either operated by a state or one of the ABA accredited private agencies like the NBLSC [4]
Nevertheless, full acceptance of the validity and importance of board certification by all courts and all states has not been achieved. [5] Still, there are NBLSC certified attorneys in most if not all states [6], and their numbers are growing. [7]
