I don't know how true the stat was, but I was watching The Devil's Advocate last night and there's a scene where Al Pacino says there are more students in law school than there were active lawyers at the time. That was 1997, so it seems like we were headed for an oversupply if the stat was true.

That seems wildly wrong. According to this 45,000 law students graduate every year. LINK / Times 3, about 150,000 law students.
According to this there are over 1.2 million lawyers in the US.
(Although not all licensed JDs are actually working as lawyers.) LINK So Al was way off. But what do you expect from the prince of lies.
