Before any major medical treatment, patients are accustomed to seeking a second opinion. Competent physicians routinely encourage referrals and sometimes insist upon second opinions. In the accounting field, independent auditors are utilized to verify the accuracy of financial statements. In litigation, however, clients choose a law firm to handle their case, sometimes they shop new cases to multiple firms, but once the case commences the firm has a monopoly over the 'diagnosis and treatment' of the litigation issues.
