The lawyer surplus by state

TaxProf has lawyer surplus figures for every state using 2009 data. Across the country, we had twice as many people who passed the bar as there were openings for attorneys. The worst state with an over-supply of lawyers was New York with 7,687 lawyers too many. Arkansas has a surplus of 75. Only Nebraska and Wisconsin has a shortage. DC is listed as a shortage, but read the comments before you believe it.

Tax Prof does not show every state; if your state is missing see here.
