>There might be new competition now at a certain level, but there's also the oversupply of lawyers and the continual closing of law firms all across america. Those are kind of competing stories about what is happening.
Can you rephrase so I can understand what you mean?
"There might be competition on some level" BUT "there's also the oversupply of lawyers" -- that means that all the lawyers are competing with each other because there are too many. How are "the lawyers are competing" and "there is an oversupply" competing stories? An oversupply would lead to increased competition.
- NotSammyHagar 7y agoSorry, messed up with a typo I couldn't edit later. There is an oversupply of lawyers and law schools and law firms have closed. Yet as the article talks about, there is the article which talks about some thriving law firms, so it's not all bad. There was also the real partners and the not-partners, some of whom might become partners, others that were just paid by the hour and would not become partners. So I was trying to say that it wasn't a clear story, some good things, but because there are fewer good jobs for lawyers (and fewer high paid partner opportunities) there's also bad stories. But I'm sorry, my comment was unclear.
