How to present your reasoning



Reasoning: Reasoning is explaining or justifying why a justice decided to choose one side over another in a conflict. That reasoning is based upon the legal factors which support one side over another. This could include precedents (previously decided court decisions which are supposed to guide judges in deciding present similar cases; the law (existing constitutional and statutory laws which apply to the case in question) and other factors (these include political affiliation of the justice, his or her personal ideology, or experience, etc...)
