What is the Legal Marketing Index?
Consumer Attorney Marketing Group created the Legal Marketing Index to deliver

Top 20 Underspending DMAs **
*The index compares the results of the DMA to the average rate of all the markets in last 12 months. An index of 100 is on par with the National average. Anything above 100 (120 for example) means that the DMA on that line has more spend per person
versus the National average by a factor of that amount over 100 (a 120 index would mean that DMA has a per capita spend 20% higher than the average market in this survey)
**Compiled from last 12 months of data from Top 100 DMA’s Only
***This spend denotes all local media types (i.e. local internet, local magazine, local newspaper, outdoor, spot radio, spot tv), excluding local cable.

3M Military Earplugs
From 2003 through 2015, the 3M Company and a subsidiary, Aearo Technologies, allegedly provided the U.S. military with defective Combat Arms earplugs. The U.S. military says the dual-ended earplugs were too short and often came loose, which exposed soldiers to loud noises made by firearms and explosive devices. The exposure allegedly caused tinnitus and hearing loss. The 3M Company agreed to pay $9.1 million to settle allegations that it did not disclose the defects when marketing the earplugs to the military.
