A peculiar breed of legal wordwright whose legal expertise chiefly resides in knowing enough about the law to frame the right legal question for someone else, but artfully disclaiming enough knowledge to actually answer it; and the tactical acumen to throw such a hospital pass to such an unsuspecting third party without anyone twigging that she has done it.
The person who proves best at this behaviour over a sustained period of time gets to be general counsel.
