Abstract

Previous studies indicate attorneys have generally negative attitudes toward the advertising of their services, while consumers have positive attitudes. This article explores the reasons behind this disparity in attitude. It further argues that legal services firms must come to a greater understanding of both supply/demand relationships for their service, and the role that advertising can play in adjusting demand to meet supply.
