Gold offers a meta approach to teaching legal reasoning, bringing the process of argumentation to the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing examples both from the law and from daily life, Gold's book will help undergraduates and first-year law students to understand legal discourse. The book analyzes and illustrates the principles of legal reasoning, such as logical deduction, analogies and distinctions, and application of law to fact, and even solves the mystery of how to spot an issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Gold's experience, students who understand the principles of analytical thinking are able to understand arguments, to evaluate and reply to them, and ultimately to construct sound arguments of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501728598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501728594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Michael Gold","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045737230591,"sku":"9781501728594","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6d42488-7e7e-4aa1-8a02-f64c0a0b625f.jpg?v=1684980455","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-primer-on-legal-reasoning-michael-evan-gold-9781501728594","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
