Abstract
This paper demonstrates that reasoning with statutes and reasoning with cases are actually one and the same intellectual activity. Further, the reasoning practice of the courts in Germany, California, and England and Wales is identical. This finding contradicts a widely held opinion that the legal reasoning of civil law lawyers differs fundamentally from the legal reasoning of common law lawyers.
