Bright Side: Fewer Lawyers?

One other comment regarding the post below, about the dim prospects and heavy debt for recent Law School grads...in the big picture, it is a disaster that we have so many lawyers. First, because lawyers make business for themselves--litigiousness, and excessive fear of unwarranted liability. Second, though, because of the diverted talent. All those bright young minds that go into law might be making a real contribution in a useful, needed field--science, engineering, medicine, social entrepreneurialism.
