Abstract
- The Squire Index measuring the professionalization levels of American state legislatures was created three decades ago. In this note, I explain how the 2021 update was compiled. I then document the index's stability over the years for which it has been measured, present alternative measures to explore a problematic aspect of the index, and finally examine how each of the index's three components has moved relative to Congress between 1979 and 2021.
