Lawyers approach arguments from both sides (so that they know where they are weak, where they are strogon), and know how to identify/tear apart BS. Engineers know how to present 'the correct position' once. The best engineers I knew benefited from having someone else in the company do their 'political' work for them. They were horrible at it themselves.

It is lawyers that need to win once and just slip something past a judge. Engineering 'truths' if you could call them that are constantly reevaluated in light of new evidence, theory, and data.
