I worked for a number of law firms over the years. The glut of attorneys has been going on for ages. Today it’s worse. I still keep in touch with employees of the firms I worked for. They tell me those firms are downsizing. Even if you graduate from a major law school in the top 10& of the class, you still might not get a job as an attorney.
And a lot of the jobs that newly minted law graduates used to do in firms as associates is getting farmed offshore, so there isn’t as much demand to hire new graduates.
