Critical Reasoning = The Foundation of LawLawyers argue for a livingEvery courtroom argument is a structured set of premises leading to a conclusion.Judges evaluate argumentsJudges assess validity, identify reasoning flaws, and determine if conclusions follow from evidence.Contracts are conditional logic"If Party A fails to deliver by Dec 31, then Party B may terminate" — this IS conditional reasoning.Cross-examination = WeakeningA lawyer cross-examining a witness is systematically weakening the opposing argument.Legal drafting = PrecisionThe difference between "all", "some", "must" and "may" in a contract can mean crores of rupees.CLAT Gurukul | clatgurukul.com | A Ready For Exam Brand PK

6 Myths BustedMYTH: "CR is just common sense"FACT: CR has 13 distinct question types, each requiring a specific strategy.MYTH: "Read the question first"FACT: Wrong. Stimulus first. Question-first undermines comprehension and wastes time.MYTH: "Science passages are harder"FACT: Topic doesn't matter — only the logical structure does.MYTH: "If it sounds right, it IS right"FACT: Test makers place attractive wrong answers right before the correct one.MYTH: "LR is only arguments"FACT: Since 2025, CLAT also tests puzzles (seating, blood relations, coding).MYTH: "You can't prepare for CR"FACT: CR has identifiable patterns and learnable strategies.CLAT Gurukul | clatgurukul.com | A Ready For Exam Brand PK

Every CR Question Has Three Parts 1. STIMULUSThe passage or argument you read. Contains premises, conclusions, or fact sets. This is where ALL the information lives. 2. QUESTION STEMThe question asked about the stimulus. Tells you what TASK to perform (weaken? strengthen? infer?). 3. ANSWER CHOICES4 options (A-D in CLAT). Only ONE is correct. You MUST read all before choosing.THE CORRECT READING ORDER1. Read the STIMULUS firstUnderstand the argument fully.2. Read the QUESTION STEMNow you know what task to perform.3. Read ALL ANSWER CHOICESNever stop at the first attractive option.Why NOT read the question first?• Undermines comprehension• Wastes time (you re-read the question)• Some stems reference stimulus info• Difficulty comes from stimulus, not stem• High-scoring test takers read stimulus firstCLAT Gurukul | clatgurukul.com | A Ready For Exam Brand PK
