Do you have any examples of this? I haven't been able to find a ton of examples of lawyer/programmers whose careers combine these areas of expertise explicitly.

A specific example would be that we were went to litigation and I would have loved if our lawyer had a technical background when I tried really hard to draw his attention to subtleties that would make it a fucking slam dunk.

For memo, we lost, and I would not rely on that herbivore lawyer again; not even to deliver food.
