Law & practice

"Law is a product and a producer of reason. Legal reasoning is an intellectual challenge whereby judges and lawyers find legal premises to argue their decisions or invalidate premises without bending logic. It is a topic of importance for lawyers and legal scholars and demands a great measure of logical rigour. It is not so simple. Legal reasoning involves various components such as analogy, legal culture, textual analysis, judicial discretion and historical development- taking all factors into consideration. Taking legal texts or legal precedent to argue a case or decide actual cases involves more than reaching the right judgement. "Law & Practice: Critical Analysis and Legal Reasoning" provides a comprehensive analysis of various areas of law, particularly legal reasoning and will assess research in law and analysing conclusions. This book will help move the debate of wide-ranging new problems and develop useful suggestions on these issues."--Back cover.
