deconstruction

Read a random definition: life estate

A quick definition of deconstruction:

Deconstruction: A way of looking at rules or principles in law by breaking them down to show that they could also support the opposite rule or result. This is also called trashing.

Deconstructionist: A person who uses this method of analysis.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Deconstruction is a method used in critical legal studies to analyze legal principles or rules by breaking down the supporting premises. This is done to show that these premises might also support the opposite rule or result. It is also known as trashing.

Example: Let's say there is a legal principle that states "all individuals have the right to freedom of speech." A deconstructionist would break down this principle to show that the supporting premises could also be used to argue against freedom of speech. For example, one could argue that hate speech should not be protected under the principle of freedom of speech.

Another example could be the legal principle that "all individuals are equal under the law." A deconstructionist would break down this principle to show that the supporting premises could also be used to argue for inequality. For example, one could argue that affirmative action policies that give preferential treatment to certain groups of people are actually promoting inequality under the law.

These examples illustrate how deconstruction is used to challenge and question legal principles and rules by breaking down their underlying assumptions and premises.

Tell us what's important to you
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
