> Not a problem for the analysis of law firms. Sierra Club is a less effective law firm than the big New York firm.

Why is this not a problem? The parent comment was saying that the Sierra Club takes harder cases and is often the plaintiff, not the defendant, so they may be more effective as a law firm but have worse numbers because the win/loss numbers don't mean the same things in different contexts.

It's also worth nothing that the Sierra Club isn't a law firm at all. It's an environmental organization that, among many other things, sometimes uses the legal system to advance its goals.
