Big deal the lawyer files the case. And no the lawyer dont decide what is worthy of the Jury hearing, a judge decides that technically. The judge can stop any evidence he thinks dont belong in the case.

But the most important fact of all is who decides the case, and that is the common every day people sitting on the jury with no legal back grounds in most cases. They hear both lawyers argue their case, and present what they believe to be the evidence to support their case, but the final decision comes down to who that non legally educated jury decided they want to believe.

So technically speaking the non lawyer juries are the ones that set law precedent, in their decisions. Not the highly educated lawyers. All they can do is argue the existing precedent that juries across the country created by their verdicts.
