CLASS EXERCISE 8

This exercise examines various scenarios to determine if they are rooted in deductive or inductive logic. In the first case, a lawyer argues for bail based on the client's societal contributions, showcasing inductive reasoning that generalizes the likelihood of non-flight risk. The second case about Thembi reflects a hasty generalization, also inductive, about her potential as a lawyer based on test results. The final scenario about Johnny's dismissal is based on deductive logic, where the rule about sleeping on duty directly leads to justified termination.

  1. CLASS EXERCISE 8 Indicate for each of the following whether it is based on deductive or inductive logic and BRIEFLY explain your answer. “Your honour, my client is a highly productive member of society, as he is a doctor, and has many family ties to Bloemfontein. He is therefore not a flight risk and we request bail” Thembi, a law student, receives the scripts for her first two tests and discovers that she has failed both. Thembi will clearly not amount to much of a lawyer. When employees sleep on duty they can be summarily dismissed. Johnny slept on duty and was discovered by his line manager. Johnny was justifiably dismissed.
