Legal Reasoning

by Martin P. Golding

Book Overview

In a book that is a blend of text and readings, Martin P. Golding explores legal reasoning from a variety of angles--including that of judicial psychology. The primary focus, however, is on the 'logic' of judicial decision making. How do judges justify their decisions? What sort of arguments do they use? In what ways do they rely on legal precedent? Golding includes a wide variety of cases, as well as a brief bibliographic essay (updated for this Broadview Encore Edition).
