State Bar New Attorney Admission Contact Feed

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

Land 25 legal recruiters at $250/mo and you're at $75k ARR - but scraper maintenance across 51 state bars plus ToS landmines make this a grind with roughly a 15% shot at hitting that, and you'll likely spend more building it than you earn in year one.

Key risks

State bar websites change HTML structure unpredictably - maintaining 51 scrapers is a continuous engineering tax that erodes margins and causes data gaps customers churn over
Several state bars have ToS or statutes restricting commercial resale of admission data, creating cease-and-desist or licensing-fee exposure that could kill the data source entirely
Legal recruiters already source new associates through law school OCI programs, LinkedIn Recruiter, and Martindale-Hubbell - the willingness-to-pay for a redundant channel is low and hard to prove without a long sales cycle
