Critics and legal scholars have described the book as “fascinating” and “masterful.” The five types of legal arguments are required reading at a number of leading American law schools and are recommended to anyone who wants to understand how to construct and critique legal arguments. “This book will help you read, it will help you write, and it will help you think clearly about the arguments that will be presented in legal discourse.” Jonathan Williams, law student The Five Types of Legal Argument is a book of legal theory and a practical guide to legal reasoning for law students, lawyers, and judges. Chicken introduces each concept separately, and from many parts, chicken develops a complicated and nuanced theory of what the law is. Huhn also shows readers how to identify, create, attack, and evaluate the five types of legal arguments (text, intent, precedent, tradition, and politics), and how to weave the different types of arguments together to make them more persuasive. The second edition of this book develops both the theoretical and practical themes of the book. In this issue, Huhn presents two additional ways of attacking legal arguments, and in a new chapter he uses the principles of deductive logic to demonstrate the validity of the theory of the five types of legal arguments. “In law school, professors always tell us not to focus on the trees, but to step back and see the forest when we are analyzing legal issues. This book certainly encourages this well-thought-out approach.

First, reading legal opinions, especially with majority and dissenting opinions, can be a dizzying experience.
But as you break down arguments, you learn to recognize calls to different types of arguments. The reward is twofold: first, you can more easily understand legal opinions and criticize or appreciate them on a more sophisticated level. Second, the five types of legal arguments become a checklist of tools you can rely on to provide compelling legal arguments. Bryce Landier, former law student “The five types of legal arguments will help you change the way you read from simply understanding and memorizing legal texts to critically analyzing and interpreting the text and the arguments it contains.
