Pie Chart

Clicklaw Wikibooks publications serve the public. But who is that exactly? What proportion are seniors? What proportion are men? This interesting demographic chart reveals a few clues. For example, a book covering a wide range of legal topics, such as Dial-A-Law, shows a similar balance of male (48.5%) and female (51.5%) users. When the topic is family law, the balance changes noticeably. In 2018, 58.8% of JP Boyd on Family Law readers were female.
