Very difficult comparison. Law schools have a somewhat standard program, while in aviation training is all over the map...from military training (which used to have a >50% attrit rate) to university programs, organized 141 puppy mills, small local schools, to freelance CFI's.
Also anyone who shows up for day one of law school has already made a serious commitment and been screened. The only screening in civil flight training is the credit check...don't have credit? No problem, daddy's credit will do just fine.
