As of October, cities in Dillingham Census Area had 10 lawyers in good standing practicing law, according to the Alaska Bar Association.

This is an increase from the previous month, when there were six lawyers in good standing in Dillingham Census Area.

All of the licenses active in the month were granted in the city of Dillingham.

Alaska has no law schools, yet it maintains a higher-than-average ratio of lawyers compared to the relatively low overall population. In Alaska, there are now 2,486 attorneys actively practicing law and a total of 4,160 lawyers licensed to practice in the state.

As of March 2025, average lawyer salaries in Alaska ranged from $113,932 for an entry-level attorney handling routine legal work to $238,626 for highly experienced attorneys managing complex cases with significant autonomy. Mid-level attorneys, such as those in Attorney III roles—who handle highly complex legal work with moderate supervision—earned on average $190,542 in Alaska, compared to $174,969 nationwide.

The United States has over 1.3 million attorneys, with the lawyer population projected to grow by 4% between 2024 and 2034.

Data refers to all lawyers who were actively practicing during this period.
