A survey launched in lilfil had shown that, of seven large firms here which bad reported no "Jewish involvement," only three are in that category now. The number of Jewish attorneys in such firms has increased from Uf> to 40. The large firms include a total of 5115 attorneys.

"It is not yet clear." according to the group, "that religious identification has been entirely abandoned."
