Looking at the income and income of lawyers by years of experience from 2013 to 2015, the average income for 1 in the 67th term, which is the first year of lawyer registration, is 2015 million yen. Compared to 568, it decreased by 2010 million yen.In the 210th year of registration, it was 10 million yen, a decrease of 2251 million yen from 2010, and in the 406th year of registration, it was 15 million yen, a decrease of 3,085 million yen from 2010. It turned out that the annual income is declining year by year.
It is believed that this is due to the fact that the work of claiming overpayment refunds to consumer finance, which was the source of income, has come to an end, and that the situation of “surplus lawyers” continues due to the expansion of the legal profession population.
