Definition and Examples
- Definition
- A legal proposition is a statement that outlines a principle, rule, or application of law that arguably applies to a particular legal matter, usually in writing. Legal propositions are foundational components of legal arguments, supported by statutes, case law, or other legal authorities to persuade a stakeholder (e.g., decisionmaker, opposing counsel, a counterparty) to reach a particular conclusion.
