Lawyers out of law schools are not qualified to practice the law. That takes an apprenticeship as an associate which is where the bottleneck is. It is a cartel, but not at the law school level.

There is a huge demand for cheap lawyers -- basically people who know rules of procedure and basic law. They don't exist, in part because law schools don't teach enough practical skills to be able to practice without malpractice.
