Lawyers do tend to solve the problem of innocent people being convicted. Also the problem of deciphering legalese.
Engineers creating problems... Not gonna go there. Let's just say that engineers whose main undergrad work has minimal hands-on work tend to get some "What was that engineer THINKING?" (and worse) from folks that have to build/repair/otherwise interact with stuff said engineers designed.
To answer the initial question: I'll go with engineer, but reserve the right to try to understand the lawyers' thinking.
