Ooof. I doubt that 75% have ever been admitted to practice in any court. But maybe I'm wrong.

At the schools where I've taught, I'd bet close to 100% of professors with JDs have been admitted to practice somewhere at some point. I don't have a sense of how many maintain active status, but I think it's well north of 25%, and 75% is not implausible.

This is why I asked -- my perspective might be skewed! Thanks for the added data points
