Legal Technique and Logic - Assignment No. 2
- To argue a legal case one must be able to cite a rule and apply it to set of facts. The
existing rule governing the issue should be specifically cited. The rule can also take the
form of cases or principles that courts have already decided. The reasoning here usually
consists of arguing that the case under discussion is similar to that prior case or
principle.
C. Facts (What are the facts that are relevant to the rule cited?)
- This is the part where our argumentation and illustration come out. It supposed to show
the link between the rules and the facts we presented to establish what we are claiming
in our argument. The concern here is whether the material facts truly fit the law.
E. Conclusion (What is the implication of applying the rule to the given facts)
- The conclusion is the ultimate end of a legal argument. It is what the facts, the rules and
the analysis of the case amount to.
