Re: "Google also uses the Buganizer tool as a way of managing workflow"
Frankly I am happy with the person not being a lawyer - most people I know who went into law did it as a cushy get rich quick career that was far easier than a "hard subject" like physics etc.
Impartial and thoughtful appraisal of the evidence is (IMHO) more important than lawyer training / career.
They can always wheel in an actual lawyer for court of law* stuff.
Rememmber they are courts of law, not courts of justice (with apols to Billy Bragg)
