This should surprise non of the geniuses who kept right on opening new law schools and enlarging classes in the face of long-standing, cumulative evidence that America has more lawyers than law jobs.
I have taken the position for a very long time that America can always make good use of more lawyers.

Others agree with me:

A legal education is a good substitute for an MBA, if you want to go into business but you aren't a numbers guy.
The poor and even the middle class need more legal representation than they can afford.
All that being said, the mismatch between law students' aspirations/expectations and the such societal needs makes dissatisfaction --- leading to the recent spate of class actions by disgruntles law-school alums --- inevitable. And that in turn, combined with the cost of law school and a new-found aversion by students and parents to loan debt, made the app decline predictable.
