Good News, for a Change

Instapundit provides a link to a blog by a Pepperdine Law School prof - Excess of Democracy - which reports as follows:
Total law school enrollment at lowest point since 1977; 1L class size lowest since 1973.
The article is based on ABA reporting data. Reduced production of attorneys is good news indeed. Ours is a too-litigious society, mostly the fault of overproduction of attorneys.

Eventually market forces dissuaded would-be barristers, as the likelihood of finding paying work diminished. All hail the market, what is bad for lawyers is good for our nation, in this case.
