in some instances, your adversary is not a business competitor or other private entity, but the government itself. These are often challenging cases, as the government has many immunities, exemptions and other unfair advantages in its favor. Moreover, unfortunately, many courts are inclined to favor the government in legal disputes. Part of the reason for that is that many litigants challenge state and local government entities every day, but do so with poor advocacy that doesn’t effectively present their case.
