Though this Arkansas law firm may be best know because of one of its former lawyers, Hillary Rodham Clinton, it is also one of the oldest continuously operating legal services firms in the country. Founded in 1820, before Arkansas was a state, it is the 7th oldest law firm in the U.S. and the oldest west of the Mississippi River.
Several other law firms celebrate milestones this year. Here is my list of those in business for 200 years or more - please comment if you know of a continuously operating law firm I have missed.
