The disadvantage is obviously that you need the stuff you learn in law school to pass the bar. If you can independently learn it then you can come out as a "real" lawyer. But it seems it's not all states you can just do the bar and be a lawyer, some do require law shool.

- swores 4y agoIt doesn't suggest whether the teaching is useful for the career of a lawyer, or just for passing the Bar, though. You'd hope it to be true of both, of course, and ideally more about being a good lawyer than about how to pass the Bar.
