Lawyers are more liberal than the general population, a study of campaign contributions has revealed. Judges, on the other hand, are more conservative. Government lawyers are the most liberal leaning followed by law professors, public defenders, female lawyers, lawyers from the top 14 law schools, lawyers at large law firms, partners at firms and prosecutors, according to a chart of the findings in the New York Times. The least liberal leaning lawyers (though more liberal than judges) are lawyers not from the top 100 law schools, male lawyers, and lawyers from the top 15 to 100 law schools. The research also revealed that lawyers in general donate much more actively than the general population. Source: New York Times
