Attorneys urged to participate
in upcoming survey
The State Bar of Michigan is seeking attorney input that will provide data courts use to determine attorney fees and will help all Michigan lawyers determine how their salaries measure up.
Conducted every three years, the Economics of Law survey compiles average income levels for more than 50 specific fields of practice and collects a variety of other data including race, gender, and geographic location.
The survey helps determine county-by-county and statewide average billing rates and income for both private and non-private practice attorneys in all occupation areas.
The survey will open in 2026. Michigan attorneys will receive emails inviting them to participate. Participation from both private and non-private practice attorneys is crucial to ensure the accuracy of the report.
