Yes, we are planning a verification system for lawyers' profiles, although you can already tell a lot by looking at their profile information (website, twitter, etc)

Thanks, I see these now. I should have looked around more before commenting and I bookmarked it!

Still need verification as a practicing lawyer who is licensed is sometimes different from just getting a JD..

It could be used as a selling point in letting those who get verified add to it telling what specialties they handle, etc.

Almost all states' bar associations have public profiles indicating the license statuses of their lawyers.

California, for example, requires a public email address -- verification can be accomplished by sending a Docracy verification email to the bar-published email address.
