The writing of such an article aims to explore the understanding of reasoning in the legal field, in the form of general reasoning, specific reasoning in the form of legal reasoning models, and the implications of reasoning on legal understanding and consideration. The legal reasoning methods as referred to are categorized into two types, namely general reasoning in the form of reasoning with inductive, deductive, and abductive models or methods. The rest, there is specific reasoning, namely reasoning that is reviewed in terms of the school of legal philosophy.
