Thinking like a Lawyer a New Introduction to Legal Reasoning Frederick Schauer

Schauer`s analysis of what makes legal reasoning special will be a valuable guide for students while challenging a variety of current academic theories. On the question of whether the legal argument is unmistakable, Friedrich Schauer stresses the formality and dependence of law on rules. If one takes the wording of a law seriously, if one follows a rule even if it does not lead to the best result, if one treats the fact of a previous decision as a reason for repeating the same decision, or if one relies on authoritative sources, the law embodies values other than simply making the best decision for the occasion or the dispute. In pursuing the objectives of stability, predictability and limitation of the particularities of individual decision-makers, the law uses forms of reasoning that may not be unique, but that dominate much more legal decision-making than elsewhere. Law students, law professors, and lawyers often refer to the process of “thinking like a lawyer,” but attempts to systematically analyze what is meant by this term are rare. In his classic book, Kenneth J. Vandevelde defines this elusive phrase and identifies the techniques needed to think like a lawyer. Unlike most legal writings, which are plagued by difficult and virtually incomprehensible language, this book is accessible and clearly written, and will help students, professionals, and readers in general gain important information about this well-developed and valuable way of thinking. This introduction to legal reasoning is intended for law students and advanced students. But it is also an original presentation of basic legal concepts that researchers and lawyers will find stimulating. It covers topics such as rules, precedents, authority, analogous argumentation, common law, legal interpretation, legal realism, legal opinions, legal facts, and burden of proof. The second edition, updated for a new generation of lawyers, includes a new chapter on contemporary perspectives on legal argumentation.

A useful new appendix serves as a survival guide for current and future law students and outlines how to apply book techniques to excel in law school.
