Common law adjudication cycles induction and deduction into new rules

Evidence

A rule of law (1) is viewed in combination with other rules by a process of inductive reasoning, (2) to form the major premise for a process of deductive reasoning in the next case, (3) leading to the conclusion of the deductive syllogism which forms the decision in the case, (4) which in turn takes the form of a new legal rule. — Ruggero J.
