Having been to law school in the last 3 years (would have taken the bar 2 months ago had I finished), you are overestimating how many law students actually learn how to perform Westlaw/Lexis searches like that. You only really need to use them in a few select classes, and no one really attends anything more than the mandatory trainings (which cover things like how to log in).

our mandatory legal research class covered wildcard searches and "w/" x number of words/characters

I guess mine covered wildcards and some search operators, now that I look back. Nothing that remotely prepared me for learning regex though.
