how to practice legal reasoning
Tips and Tricks to practice Legal Reasoning:
- Read the comprehension first and then attempt the question. Do not read the hypothetical situation first.
- The view of the author is paramount. Do not superimpose your view while answering the questions.
- Always go with an answer which has clear reference in the passage.
- Do not miss any Mock Tests or any practice test provided to you. There are no proper reference books available on the new pattern and the only source to practice these questions are the tests provided to you. So take the tests seriously and try to improve your legal comprehension skills through these tests.
- Work consistently on your reading skills.
Important Legal Reasoning topic for CLAT:
- Candidate must continuously invest time in reading articles related to static and current legal issues.
- Focus on the legal issues from last 10 months and read about them.
- Special attention should be paid to landmark judgments and important cases from the last year.
- Read about all the new amendments and enactments done in both monsoon and winter sessions of the parliament along with contemporary issues like LGBTQ rights or the death penalty which have been a part of the news in the last few months.
- Reading about static and current legal issues prior to your CLAT will help you in understanding the passage easily and at a much faster pace during your final exam.
- You might land up in a situation where you are running out of time and cannot invest the last three-four minutes left in reading the entire passage. In that case, understanding of the legal issue will be of great help as you might be able to answer a couple of questions even without reading the entire passage word to word.
Hope, it helps!
