Law is at war with ambiguity seems like an argument leading to a conclusion that there has to be a winner and a loser. I still don't understand how thats an obvious conclusion

I tend to agree with mohsen; the author declares his recognition of something; that Law is at war with ambiguity, that there will always be a winner/loser regardless of the balance of justice and that these are all supporting evidence of the conclusion that the rule of law will be declared.
Or (having written all that, I am now unsure of myself) the inevitable fact that the rule of law will be declared deives the conclusion that the law is indeed at war with ambiguity.
Hmmmm. you choose.

"In the courtroom, the adversary system—plaintiff against defendant—guarantees that someone will always win, someone loses."
That is the complete phrase. It reads more like a specific example of the conclusion, that law is at war with ambiguity, that there is always a clear outcome. The example does contain a repeat of this "black & white" theme, that "someone will always win, someone loses".
