To know the specifics, the loopholes, allthe stuff the average person shouldn't really care to know but knowing a bit of the laws in your area is a thing everyone is supposed to know
Actually they bank on people not knowing the law. My bf is going to law school and hasn't gotten a ticket or has gotten out of tickets because of how well he works it.
Lawyers go to school to learn how to be good lawyers. The law itself is a public document anyone can "learn". But how to navigate the law...how to litigate etc. is a real skill.

there is a big difference in obeying basic laws and being able to research extreme complexities and argue nuances in real-time.

Studying law is more about learning to interpret laws and the framework they operate within than actually learning the laws.
Trust me, I flunked out of law school
