Logic in Law and Ethics

Logical Reasoning in Law

Lawyers use logic to build cases, analyze evidence, and argue in court. Every claim must be supported with logical reasoning.

Ethics and Decision-Making

Ethical arguments use logic to weigh right and wrong, choosing actions that follow clear principles.

From Rules to Real Life

Symbolic logic makes it easier to spot contradictions, clarify laws, and ensure fair decisions.

Making a Difference

Understanding logic helps you understand and participate in debates about justice, policies, and what’s right.

Examples

  • A lawyer argues, 'If the defendant was home, they couldn't be at the scene. The defendant was home. Therefore, they couldn't be at the scene.'

  • An ethics debate uses logic to weigh the pros and cons of a new school rule.
