The job market in the legal industry experienced a slight 0.7 percent growth in 2012 with a net increase of 7,800 jobs, according to an analysis of the legal industry by The Connecticut Law Tribune.

While 2012 was better year for the legal job market than it was from 2009 to 2011, it remains years away from regaining the 60,100 lost jobs between 2008 and 2009, the analysis finds.
