Description
Welcome!
As a trial and appellate attorney for over 40 years, my livelihood depended on constructing practical real-world winning arguments. Whether simple or complex, those arguments must be both logical and clear to my audience. And as an Adjunct Law Professor for Advanced Argumentation and Legal Research & Writing, teaching students how to quickly and easily make such logically flawless, understandable, and persuasive factual arguments was my mission.
In this course, I would like to share with you how to use the same simple natural language logic template that I relied upon in court to ensure that any argument is both flawlessly logical and clear to the audience.
You just fit the sentences of your reasoning within that logic template and out comes a logical and clear argument every time. It’s fail-safe, rigorous, robust, and nearly automatic. The type, complexity, or subject matter of the reasoning does not matter—the logic template is universal. And if the reasoning cannot be made to fit within the structure, you know that the reasoning is not logical. Logical fallacies are never an issue.
Fortunately, you will NOT need to learn about the typical long list of logical argument and reasoning curriculum topics. Just scratch them off your list of “need-to-know” to construct logical and clear arguments. There are just five simple steps to follow to complete the logic template.
It is academically sound as an extension of the seminal work of Professors Fred Sommers and George Englebretsen in the natural language New Syllogistic and has been peer-reviewed (Oxford Journal articles). And it has been field tested successfully for fifteen years in actual trial and appellate work.
Of course, like improving any expertise, you will need to practice. But you only need to practice the same five simple steps for any argument.
The problem has been, based on traditional curriculum, studies have shown that practical logical reasoning “is often ill understood and poorly deployed even among those in the upper tiers of our educational systems.”(van Gelder, T., Bissett, M., & Cumming, G. (2004). Enhancing expertise in informal reasoning. Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology, 58, 142–152.)
Hasn’t the time come for learning how to make logical and clear arguments without it being so complex and difficult? We have all been working at it harder than is really needed! The right tool makes all the difference.
The focus of this course is narrow—how to easily construct practical clear logical arguments every time whether supporting your own position or attacking another position. That’s it!
While there is certainly more to critical thinking than constructing logical and clear arguments, without real competence in this one skill, the other important areas of critical thinking cannot overcome its absence.

Who this course is for:
- This course is appropriate and easily understandable for attorneys, trial expert witnesses, and law school students.
- This course is also appropriate and easily understandable for students from high school through graduate school, teachers of critical thinking and analytical writing at any level, business people, intelligence analysts, scientists, politicians, journalists, and anyone else who needs to quickly learn to construct clearer and more convincing evidenced-based logical arguments. Perhaps surprisingly, there is no prerequisite knowledge or skills. Only a willingness to thoughtfully engage learning a new way of thinking about reasoning is required.
