Thinking to be a lawyer is like learning a new language. It is no movie material but a form of swift reasoning, cool logic, effortless problem-solving skills and precision analysis between two heated chambers on other sides. It is surprising but true that some of the most significant contributions to a deep understanding of law have been targeted at beginning law students.
Doesn’t this sounds interesting?
Like learning a new language, thinking like a lawyer is a technique that can be over-wrapped with time, patience, practice, and a will. The techniques used of thinking & reasoning may or may not be same as an ordinary person. But what makes a lawyer stand apart is their nature of legal thinking.

Lets start training our brain towards thinking legal.
Legal Reasoning
Studying law is not just about learning laws, acts, rules, etc. Its much beyond such bookish language. By the time we pass out after our 3 rigorous years of training most of the acts, implications change. Remembering them is not what law is all about.
To sum up legal reasoning is to be master of, maths of talents, in argument and decision making that are often collectively described as legal reasoning. So for law institutes apart from teaching some legal rules and some practical professional skills, they should also maintain that their most important mission is to train students in the arts of legal argument, legal decision making, and legal reasoning—in thinking like lawyer.
There is no distinct definition to what legal reasoning is. The claim of proving anything like legal reasoning that lawyers have ways of approaching problems and making decisions that others do not is a hypothesis.
The law is inevitably and especially subject to the unforeseen complexity of the human conditions and model of interpretation. We can at best imperfectly predict the future, just as we continue to be uncertain about what we will do with that future once we get there. We get on facing the unexpected but law will find itself repeatedly forced to step outside of the existing rules in order to serve the society in which it exists. Law may well contain within its appetite of argument and decision making the resources it needs to adapt to a changing world,
The skeptical position that distinctively legal reasoning is unusual rather than typical in actual legal practice may in the final analysis be sound. Its form of actual use varies from brain to brain.
Word Trafficker
Words is the real game play in this chronological study. Lawyers by profession need to be competitive inherently. They try using heavy words and create insults with a thin line of difference to their actual meaning. They can be called witty.
It becomes their strategy to use up words to spice up things gaining unfair advantage.
