legal eagle
Sharp courtroom professional
Legal eagle is informal, sometimes humorous slang for a lawyer, especially one perceived as skilled or aggressive.
The rhyme gives it a playful tone: We'll need a real legal eagle to get us out of this mess.
It can be admiring or gently mocking depending on context.
