ABSTRACT
This chapter explains what it means classically to think like a lawyer, all the better. It expresses that the law is a model of events in the real world but distinct from the reality of those events. Each model provides a useful and meaningful function but with fewer bytes of information than comprise the subject of the model. The legal model takes selected inputs from the real world, uses them in "if-then" algorithms, and spits out a result. The chapter explores the analysis with a close look at the role of logic that is at the heart of pure lawyering. There are deductive and inductive aspects to it. This deductive aspect of pure lawyering is wholly consistent with arguments in the alternative. Pure lawyering is a process that is agnostic as to truth and moral value outcomes.
