They do? This is news to me. I can forsee "chartered" TLDs that, as
part of their charter, only accept registrations from entities in countries
that end with a vowel. For example.

Much like anyone expects someone with an email address located
at law.com to be a lawyer?

You are making an assumption. 

The answer is, were I running .law, that I would only allow
registrants who sent me a certified copy of their bonafides.
Otherwise, it's as useless as law.com.
