The International Assistance Group had 6.5 counsel and 2 paralegals in 1997, and 14 counsel and 7 paralegals by the end of 2002. Today, IAG has 20 counsel and 9 paralegals. The growth since 1997 is due largely to the significant increase in the number of mutual legal assistance requests that the group handles each year.
