Think like a Lawyer

<p><strong>Think Like a Lawyer: How to Build an Argument, Break an Assumption and Ask the Question That Changes the Case</strong></p><p>Think Like a Lawyer is a practical thinking book that uses 30 courtroom case studies to teach readers how to reason more carefully, question assumptions and build stronger arguments.</p><p>Instead of teaching legal sections or courtroom procedure, the book focuses on a more transferable skill: moving from evidence to conclusion without making an unjustified leap. Readers learn to distinguish observation from inference, evidence from conclusion, sequence from causation and confidence from reliability.</p><p>The book explores deduction, induction, analogy, contradiction, burden of proof and probability, followed by a practical <strong>10-Question Thinking Test</strong>, a pocket card and workbook exercises.</p><p>Its central habit is simple: <strong>pause before accepting the conclusion and ask what the evidence actually establishes.</strong> The skills can be applied not only in law but also in business, education, interviews, debates, examinations and everyday decision-making.
