The job market for junior lawyers remains horrible and more commoditized, cookie-cutter legal work (setting up LLCs, basic agreements, etc.) are being overtaken by legal information/service providers such as Legal Zoom. Indeed, it has been reported that over 50% of the LLC's set up in California in 2012 were through Legal Zoom. This has a real impact on the bar and on the future of many existing law practices.
