shouldn't be done. Real life examples include the failure to file suit within the statute of limitations and the dismissal of a claim because it was not diligently pursued.

Legal malpractice claims are actually two claims in one. There must be proof not only that the attorney was negligent, but also that the negligence caused damage, such as the loss of a case. So there must also be proof that the first case would have been successful.
