Abstract

The advertising of legal services appears as if it is here to stay (Griffith, 1978). Recent judicial action (Bates & O’Steen vs. State Bar of Arizona, 1977) has paved the way for increased usage of the advertising mode of communication for lawyers and. other “learned” professionals (see, for example, U.S. vs. American Pharmaceutical Association,1975). This state of affairs has necessitated the need for thoughtful empirical research into the area of marketing professional services.
