Lawyers often use a type of argumentation called "legal syllogism," which is based on deductive reasoning, to figure out if a certain action is legal or not. Law of syllogism is a logical argument that consists of a question, a primary premise, an intermediate premise, and a conclusion. To the extent that the complaint is properly pleaded, every action taken to right a wrong or safeguard a person's rights is a syllogism in which the proposition of law at issue serves as the main premise, the proposition of fact serves as the minor premise, and the conclusion serves as the judgment.
