Saturation of Legal Market in Tennessee

Within the past two (2) years the State of Tennessee added two new law schools, putting the State's number of law schools at six (6). Adding in Appalachian Law, which adds a number of Tennessee attorneys every year in the Tri-Cities Region, that makes (3) new schools in the last ten years.

I wonder if the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' estimated 13% growth in opportunities for lawyers between 2008 and 2018 will suffice for the number of newly minted attorneys being created by all these schools.
