My wife, Joni, is responsible for the administration of the Bar Exam here in Utah. Twice a year, dread-filled, anxious law students take the Bar as the final hurdle (no pun intended) to becoming full-fledged, practicing attorneys. Surprisingly, only 126 examinees participated in the February session. July numbers typically hover above 300. (One wonders about the numbers coming out of larger metropolitan areas like California or New York for instance.) Can Utah really sustain the numbers of attorneys entering the workforce each year? Theoretically, projections show that eventually those attorneys of the Baby-Boomer generation will retire, creating a void that may not be met by the seemingly overabundant influx we are seeing. Personally, I feel the world has way too many of them. I was going to write more here, but I think that's a good note to end on. The world has way too many of them.
