I'm not convinced of your argument Timber Wolf.

First, there's no evidence to support it.  Second, how do you even measure quality of legal services? Third, you can say "quality vs. quantity" about any profession.  If you're going to use that argument to keep the number of lawyers low, how about car mechanics and cooks and truck drivers?  Low quality in those occupations will cause fatalities. 

Also I never said "excess"; and I don't what that means in this situation.  In a market economy, supply and demand meet to determine a market price that satisfies the majority of buyers and also provides the sellers with enough profit to continue.  Excesses sort themselves out (e.g., lawyers/paralegals who don't make enough money will go do something else).

To solve this issue of delays in the courts, requires curing the disease not the symptom.  Do we agree on that?
