The art of reasoning is a necessary and continuous human phenomenon. Reasoning is an act of every man in all strata of human endeavour. Thus, it manifests in different dimensions. For example, the act of listening and application of legal ideas to solve disputes in law is an act of jurisprudence. In humanities, when a man is involved in abstract thought of intelligent ideas, he may be said to be philosophizing. Whichever way it is seen, in as much as the act is an attempt to figure-out a solution in a logical way, such an individual is involved in reasoning. It follows that the act of reasoning may manifest in a professional perspective, where a legal practitioner logically presents a case in court. It may be in an informal perspective when an illiterate successfully bargains a price at a market place to earn business profit. Therefore, it may be said that a solution-based reasoning must be logical and presented in appropriate language to achieve the desired objectives. This may be formal or informal. In a legal point of view, legal reasoning involves the logical application of legal principles and rules in acceptable legal language. It is in this regard that this article seeks to appraise the rules in logical reasoning by juxtaposing them with legal reasoning patterns and justifying same with acceptable canons of statutory and judicial authorities. The approach in this regard is doctrinal, which involves the consultation of primary and secondary sources. The article concludes that the interwoven nature of human experiences- most especially professional areas, must be explored more deeply to ensure better professional expertise.
