Textpertise
: כלי ראשון as cited in the Wiki article relates to the religious laws of cooking on Shabbat and transferring food from a first vessel (which is on the fire) to a second or third vessel. Your suggested translation is OK but the source cited is irrelevant.

lay witness
I searched for types of witnesses. I found that eyewitnesses are often called lay witnesses in The Witness Stand By Janet Vogelsang on Google Books. On Inside the Courtroom, I also found that there are 3 types of witnesses: A lay witness—the most common type—is a person who watched certain events and describes what he/she saw. An expert witness is a specialist—someone who is educated in a certain area. He testifies with respect to his specialty area only. A character witness is someone who knew the victim, the defendant, or other people involved in the case.

This is clearly a legal term. The meaning is self evident, but I wonder if there is a specific LEGAL equivalent for this term.
