No, I am not saying that a smart person will outperform a trained lawyer because of the AI tools.

What I am saying is that going to schools no longer is the only way for smart people to be able to do the job of a lawyer.

Going to school was never the only way for smart people to be able to do the job of a lawyer. Law is like consulting and finance in that the “school” part is mostly filtering and socialization and signaling. The actual education is maybe like 1 year of the three years people spend in law school.
