The Chronicle of Higher Education recently issued a report on the education levels of the 7,000-plus members of state legislatures throughout the country.

The study breaks down the data by degree type, as well as by the type of school attended. An interactive map allows you to click on each state for more detailed information.

If you click on the "Law School" tab, you can see the percentage of state lawmakers with law degrees (17.2% overall, 21.5% in Connecticut). For more details on Connecticut legislators, click here.
