The ABA Survey on Lawyer Discipline Systems questionnaire for 2002 was sent to 55 lawyer disciplinary agencies. Arizona and South Dakota did not respond to the 2002 Survey. Medians and averages of various categories are shown where potentially meaningful. In most instances, averages have been rounded to the nearest whole number.

The Survey consists of eight charts arranged alphabetically by jurisdiction, with footnotes if clarification of data is necessary. In some instances exact figures were not available. Therefore, approximate figures were provided. The abbreviation "N/A" means that the data was not available or applicable. These charts were compiled from statistics reported to the ABA by the various jurisdictions.

The following jurisdictions indicated they have fiscal years rather than calendar years: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New York 2nd Jud. Dept. 9th District, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
