2012 Economics of Law Practice in Kansas Survey

By Larry N. Zimmerman, Valentine, Zimmerman & Zimmerman P.A., Topeka, kslpm@larryzimmerman.com

My law school experience included Law and Accounting from Professor Maydew. Our firm manager, my wife, had harassed me into the course hoping to make me into a boring businessman. We explored the mysteries of double-entry accounting but I was more intrigued that those cloistered CPAs had quietly accumulated a vast store of statistical data about various businesses and could wield it to diagnose and predict a venture's health.

Kansas attorneys are not so diligent observing our own data making it difficult to diagnose business issues as easily as our accountants might. We have opportunity to change that with the 2012 Economics of Law Practice Survey in Kansas. Every attorney in the state has now or will soon get information to participate in an anonymous survey of their practice. The results of the statewide survey will release later this year and will provide the most complete diagnostic tool available anywhere for Kansas attorneys.
