Great idea - they already know Canon Law anyhow.

I recently had a priest tell me he doesn’t know enough about canon law to settle a little debate we were having. It takes years of training. Imagine legal precedent that goes back 2,000 years, and is literally quite Byzantine.

Mostly, not particularly. “Canon lawyer” and “priest” are... not the same thing, and most priests’ jobs aren't particularly canon law centered.
