Title: How to Think Like A Lawyer

In their first year in school, Law students begin to learn how to think like lawyers. This totally alters their normal paradigm and positions them to succeed in the profession.

The goal of study is actually to alter all unproductive thinking patterns, and work only what works. But, for lawyers, it is a deliberate approach, as Law professors adopt methods like the Socratic methods to ensure that success in the law profession is not determined by IQ only.

Developing the ability to think productively with versatility can save the world.

For the purpose of brevity, I'm just going to communicate a very important concept that Lawyers employ in solving problems.

In the Law profession, the Onus is on every lawyer to think within the confines of Inductive and Deductive Reasoning.

How can the entrepreneur leverage on this?


Deductive Reasoning:

This process is sometimes called the Top-down approach and it works in leadership and business, even though It is often used by people who do research.

It is solving a problem using a holistic approach. Where one gathers all possible and accessible information about a problem or an idea and examines them one after the other until you get the best one. Also a very good process in brainstorming.
That's how lawyers handles a case. That's how Judges execute judgement.

How does one learn to think like this? It is learnt by learning. We need to develop the patience to solve problems giving attention to details, else, we'll keep solving the same problems repeatedly. And we don't have all that time.
