I can't imagine how hard it would be to keep a secret like Mike's not having a law degree. The legal community is quite small (maybe less so in New York) and most lawyers know other lawyers (or know someone who knows them). You always look up information on opposing counsel. If you're a top firm like PSL you're probably under a microscope all the time. The likelihood of someone from Mike's supposed graduating class recognizing he didn't attend class is probably pretty high.
Keeping your head down and a low profile is much easier when you're a pissant junior associate but becoming a partner and having a big wedding like Rachel's mom wanted... nearly impossible to keep that secret under wraps. I think they said early on in the show that this can't go on forever. It's evident we are getting close to the end now.
