CLAIM is a statement or proposition that the arguer wants the audience to accept

DATA is the statement or reason put forward by the arguer to get the audience to accept the claim

WARRANT when the arguer relates the data to the claim, a relationship between the two is asserted or assumed. The warrant is the inference rule that authorizes this relationship. (warrant are best thought of as conditional statement inifthen form.

BACKING the principles of the field at stake in the argument from which the warrant is abstracted or drawn.

Legal reasoning:

Issue- what specifically is being debated

Rule- what legal rule governs the issue.

Facts- what are the facts relevant to the rule

Analysis- apply the rule to the facts

Conclusion- having applied the rule to the facts, what is the outcome.
