How many practicing Canon Lawyers are there in the USA, and the world?

To me, it seems Canon Lawyers are hard to come by. In fact, I've never met one and 19 out of 20 times I see the phrase "canon lawyer" it is usually in the form "I am not one". It seems becoming a Canon Lawyer is probably one of the largest educational undertakings in existence. That would explain their scarcity. However, with such a vital role in the Church's governance, how available are they really to the dioceses that need them? What about the laity? It seems like you can *hire* them , which I did not expect when I first looked into this, and their prices are about what you'd expect for a lawyer . But are there currently enough Canon Lawyers to effectively serve the Church in the USA? What about the rest of the world? --- The question title asks for a number, but you're not going to get the green check mark that easily. I'm looking for some analysis on their distribution and if that is enough to be effective. Your own opinion on if that is enough is not really what I'm looking for. --- I just want to highlight a great resource on what exactly a Canon Lawyer is and what they do and don't do: canonlaw.info .
