I don't see anyway that would happen, there's no interest group out there for the graduating law student, and the incentive to law schools and the state bars to keep admitting more and more and charging more and more is way too high. I predict the field will keep exploding for the next 10 years or so, then word will start getting out that it's probably not that great of an investment. There's still gonna be a ton of kids willing to practice law for a teacher's salary, much like many masters and phds out there, and we're gonna turn into a Singapore or Israel in terms of our legal field.
The only solutions I can think of are for the various state Bars have are to raise the admission exam score requirements (which will send the various minority groups into an uproar), petition the ABA to raise its accreditation standards, or encourage other fields to start requiring JDs.
