This article explicitly identifies the metacognitive model for thinking like a lawyer and provides concrete steps for direct instruction in this method of analysis. The method of analysis and the resulting model are useful to beyond the legal studies classroom, as the legal reasoning model is substantially similar to a model for critical thinking.10aBusiness Law1 aScott, Inara u/biblio/learning-think-lawyer-developing-metacognitive-model-legal-reasoning
