legal experts
Courtroom knowledge professionals
Legal experts are people with specialized knowledge of law—attorneys, judges, law professors, or analysts who interpret statutes and precedents.
The phrase appears constantly in news coverage, where legal experts say the case could set a precedent or legal experts are divided on the ruling's implications.
It often serves as a vague attribution for legal opinions without naming specific sources.
