Yes, but the legal profession has incredible sway and power, so that won't happen. It would absolutely be possible for someone to specialize in just a single specific kind of law, become very knowledgeable about it, and make normal skilled professional money in the $25 to $75 per hour range. This is prohibited by regulation and licensing which amounts to a huge windfall for the legal profession. But it's unlikely to change, because the last thing any legislator wants is to be on unfavorable terms with the legal profession.
