Do Lawyers Vote Differently? A Study of Voting on No-Fault Insurance

THE QUESTION of whether lawyers in the legislature behave differently from non-lawyers is important because of the relatively large number of lawyers in most legislative bodies. The evidence from several studies indicates that in terms of policy choices, lawyers do not vote differently from the non-lawyer members of the legislature.In spite of this, the suspicion is still raised that lawyers in the legislatures are not the neutral "intellectual jobber(s) and contractor(s)" that these studies indicate.2 For example, the press reports large scale, lawyer-backed attempts to defeat no-fault insurance. Incidents of legislator-lawyer maneuvering to render it ineffective in limiting legal activity also abound in the press.3
