Levi's Model of Legal Reasoning
Levi's Model of Legal Reasoning
Levi sets out to argue that the true mechanism of legal reasoning is not what the
pretense of legal reasoning would lead one to believe.
The pretense is that law is a system of known rules applied by a judge
on society.
The true mechanism of legal reasoning allows for differences of view and
ambiguities of words and provides for methods of resolving these in ways that
include participation of the community (through litigation).
