Any suggestion of a Spanish equiv. for this expression in this context???

leer con sentido crítico
Explanation:
Lectura con sentido crítico... o simplemente <leer objetivamente> o <Lectura objetiva>

Quizá se alude al hecho de la objetividad y el espíritu crítico al tratarse de documentos redactados por ellos mismos, lo cual fácilmente puede generar una parcialidad o aceptación automática del trabajo de los colegas.

LECTURA EN FRIO


Explanation:
en ingles, cold significa de la nada, sin prevencion, para esta traduccion creo que lo que significa, es que el abogado que lo lee"cold" quiere decir sin ninguna informacion de las intenciones del que escribe el contrato, asi el lo lee y se imaginara legalmente las maniobras para tumbar el contrato.

leer sin prejuicios


Explanation:
Creo que se trata de que los abogados lean sin estar involucrados, para descubrir errores que no puede detectar el que hizo la redacción original del documento.
