I think I disagree that each group needs to know the full constitutional law. Politicians often have aids for this, and this proposal doesn't need to remove the courts. Let them summon a judge and negotiate the final language, or contract out multiple versions and take public comments.

Similarly for the teachers: in court rooms and congress, they aren't permanent hires. They're brought in by choice of the group (or someone organizing/arguing to the group). In most areas it is not so difficult to find well credentialed experts, who may in turn suggest other people to talk to (or, should any of them seem sus, may inspire a sortitioned member to suggest a critic). If data is bad, congress can get folks to go and collect the data they want in the way they want. When your job is to understand one issue, I think you have the time to consider multiple views and sort through the claims.
