The own_desc field is populated by triggers that run automatically on insert and on update; the latter is working, but the former seems to be only partly functioning, not providing the correct owner id. The RAs are working around this at the moment, but I need to figure it out. They'd also like the same provision to be added to the lawyers table. I can't see what the problem is by comparing the code, though; I'm rather at a loss at the moment.
