There are always more students than qualified practitioners. The usual way this stat. is abused is to say "there are more law students in the US, than lawyers ... so soon we'll be overrune with them".
In pretty much every high earning business I see men outnumber women, esp. as the pay scale goes higher (very few CxOs, very few politicians, no presidents etc.) And maybe some professions will naturally tend towards one or the other gender over time, but I really can't see lawyers being female dominated given how good men are at being lying bastards (it's ok, it tastes like a strawberry lollipop ... no really it does :).
