Oh sure! I'm an IP litigator, so a lot of what I do entails investigating and explaining how technology (usually implemented in source code) works. We have forensic engineers that do a lot of that work, but it's important to have some lawyers on the team who know to ask the right questions to battle test their own experts' conclusions, cross examine the other side, and turn it into a story for non technical audiences like judges and juries.
