The American Bar Association deconstructs comprehensively the paradigm shift – Law Job Stagnation May Have Started Before the Recession—And It May Be a Sign of Lasting Change. A very complete article with one significant omission. Law lobbyists “own” almost a quarter of the senate sits, this is a litigious society because litigation is promoted by the government. You can outsource the clerks but you can’t outsource the custom of injecting litigation in every aspect of the economic activity. This in turn saps the american competitiveness, triggering a vicious circle.
