[UPDATED July 1, 2011 at 11:00 pm EDT to revise the College of Law description in paragraphs two and five.]
Two recent developments here and across the pond share a common theme: ongoing confusion about young attorneys’ prospects. But the big picture is clear to me.
Last month, I doubted the reports covered in the WSJ Law Blog predicting that the U.K. might be on the verge of a lawyer shortage. I expressed even greater skepticism over the suggestion that the drop presaged a similar shortfall in the United States. In particular, the College of Law (of England and Wales) issued a report suggesting that an attorney shortage could exist as early as late 2011 and “may jump considerably in 2011-2012.”
