The more formal education you go through, the more you realise that formal education isn't something magic. It's a framework which provides a thought out curriculum and a system of motivation to learn (otherwise known as exams). The first one is, more and more, being addressed by MOOCs and Open Courseware type websites. The second one is the real stickler. Motivation without someone external providing a push is really hard, and not something the majority of people can do. Whether that motivation is really worth the ludicrous 6 figure fees of most law schools is another question entirely.
