Abstract
Little empirical research exists about the incidence of legal malpractice. To help fill the gap, the authors spent 1,000 hours mining the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation’s legal malpractice database, a rich but underutilized resource. As their results make clear, every lawyer is at risk of being sued for legal malpractice.
