This is exactly what expert witnesses are for. They're accredited "experts" in their field who are called to explain technical issues to the judge and jury. The problem here is that there isn't a "Professional Engineer" license for software/computer engineering(whether or not there should be is a totally different discussion). That makes it really difficult to get expert witnesses who can explain the terminology and give commentary. CS professors often are called for this role, but there aren't that many of them for all of the cases.
