Small legal-exec pool, larger mean gift

$16,811,333 is the occupation-level dollar total. 19,099 is the itemization count. 1,446 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $880. Mean dollars per donor record are about $11,626. Repeat giving is about 13 itemizations per donor record.

1,446 donor records is a compact pool relative to ATTORNEY and LAWYER hubs with far more names. The per-line mean of about $880 is several times larger than high-volume clinical strings in this harvest band.

These means are not typical-check estimates and not a measure of in-house legal compensation allocated to politics. The packet has no employer field and no gift-size distribution.

GENERAL COUNSEL is not ATTORNEY

ATTORNEY, LAWYER, COUNSEL, and ASSOCIATE GENERAL COUNSEL — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to GENERAL COUNSEL. This page cites only $16,811,333, 19,099 contributions, and 1,446 donors.

The FEC does not verify bar admission or a sitting GC seat. Deputy general counsel, acting GC, and people who used the title loosely can all appear. Occupation is per transaction.
