Legally-trained people adjudicating mechanical engineering maintenance issues

What professional recommendation can a judge (non-engineer) give in an engineering dispute when these are totally different fields?  Shouldn't engineering disputes be settled by engineers only?  Legally trained people do not bring anything to the table in an engineering dispute.  Engineering is a specialised field which takes years to master in both the training and worldly experience and the idea that a legally trained person can just come into the dispute and resolve it within a few hours or days is not the right way to do things don't you think?  The building blocks for engineering are maths, science and engineering drawing which people in the legal fraternity hardly understand.

  • If there is an issue, it is generally because there has been a contract between two parties, either formal or implied, and the legally trained people are experts at contract law. They will rely on independent experts for the technical input. Without knowing the details of any particular issue it is not possible to be more specific.
