"Why is it a winner takes all situation?"

I have lawyer agent x10 better than yours in a civil matter. Guess who wins. What value is second best lawyer?

[nradov]

That's meaningless. First, there's no evidence that one legal agent would be 10x better than another. Second, winning a case requires more than just a good lawyer. At some point you have to actually have the facts and/or law on your side.

Some of you have never spent any time in a courtroom and it shows.

It depends on the evidence available.
