    Complementary Information

    There are 5 committee members of IPLA. 66 law firms are members of IPLA. We do not have information about the number of individual lawyers engaged in relevant activities - we originally estimated it is in excess of 350. However this number was considered too large and we have reconsidered. We have adjusted our estimate based on one representative from each of our member firms being involved in these activities.
