I was using "investigator" to refer to the professionals who are laying out the arguments about the case without being on on either side-- what I was taking an "inquisitorial" system to be. There are obvious reasons for not calling them "inquisitors".

They obviously aren't prosecutors because they aren't specifically attempting to get a conviction. Do you have a recommended term?
