It's not that there is an over supply of attorneys per se - the problem is that there are attorneys who become licensed but don't know how to practice law; they don't know how to conduct proper legal research (didn't learn it in school), don't know how to conduct themselves in court (didn't learn that in school, either), and many of them are opportunistic in that they take people's money and then don't do the job.
