Legislative Professionalism

Legislative Professionalism is a conceptual framework in the study of state legislatures that denotes the degree to which legislative institutions exhibit characteristics such as full-time workloads, higher compensation, larger staff support, and institutional autonomy, thereby distinguishing them from citizen or hybrid assemblies along a continuum of institutional development and operational capacity.
