Paragraph for cleanup
editIn 1995, there were almost 20,000 board-certified lawyers in the United States. By 2009 that number increased to more than 35,000 lawyers.[1] According to the American Bar Association's research in 2008 there were 1,180,386 attorneys licensed to practice law in the United States.[2] Of these the ABA estimates 74% are in private practice; thus approximately 4% of practicing lawyers are currently board certified by states or ABA accredited agencies. Moreover,there are now seven private organizations with ABA-accredited certification programs, 12 state sponsored certification plans and eight state sponsored plans to accredit private certifiers.[3] Today attorney board certificaction is now available in 49 specialty fields by certifying agencies either operated by a state or one of the ABA accredited private agencies like the NBLSC[4]
Nevertheless, full acceptance of the validity and importance of board certification by all courts and all states has not been achieved.[5] Still, there are NBLSC certified attorneys in most if not all states[6], and their numbers are growing.[7]

- Support also appears to be the more WP:COMMONNAME as per search results (12k for current title and over 100,000 for proposed). 103.113.0.182 (talk) 03:56, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- My search is based on normal Google results. 103.113.0.182 (talk) 04:02, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose pending better evidence (so should relist IMO). Nomination is based on a common mistake regarding official names and shows no understanding of the matter of issue. Ghit counts don't of themselves show anything... are the hits relevant? Is there a recent difference (the article doesn't seem to say when the renaming occurred, or have I missed it?). We need the actual searches. Nom is an SPA with no other edits, so possible undiclosed COI. Andrewa (talk) 18:06, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- Strong support, per this NGram. bd2412 T 16:44, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
