A grammarian is a person who studies or is an expert in grammar. A case grammarian would be a grammarian who is specifically an expert on the different cases in grammar.
The accusative case is the direct object of an action; it receives the direct affect of the verb. E.g. THE CAT SEES THE CAR (the car is in the accusative case because it's being seen by the cat) In English we mark personal pronouns in the accusative case: HE LOVES HIM (HIM being the direct object).
