Litigation being unpredictable, and lawyers being conservative, many lawyers are unwilling to not present every argument imaginable (and sometimes unimaginable) in trying to ensure that their client has every chance to win. After all, who knows which one might resonate with the judge or judges hearing the case? This is particularly the case where the lawyer files an appeal from a judgment where the lawyer feels that the judge in first instance got every single point wrong. (Often our reaction when we lose)
