Prepare for legal reasoning by understanding basic legal principles and how to apply them to factual situations rather than memorizing laws, as questions test your ability to interpret and analyze legal scenarios. Read the provided legal principle carefully, apply it logically to the given facts, and eliminate options that don’t align with the principle, practicing this method repeatedly with previous years’ questions and mock tests. Build familiarity with common legal concepts around contracts, torts, crimes, and constitutional law through CLAT preparation books, and practice reading comprehension since legal reasoning passages can be dense and require careful reading.
