A couple of years ago, I ran down several articles on the movement
of accountants into traditional legal fields, a movement possibly
related to the current oversupply of accountants. I suspect that a
search of the LEXIS/NEXIS news and legl news files would uncover
these and other articles.  It certainly underscores the importance of
law to CPAs and undercuts any move to reduce CPA exam coverage of
law.

I hope Ivan will discuss this movement with the AICPA.
The ALSB should certainly not blindly take the ABA's perspective on
things. The movement of accountants into traditional legal fields
works to our advantage in a number of ways, both in teaching and
research.
