Philosophy majors, help me out. [View all]

In science, you have a theory that you test. There is one right answer.

In law, there are two possible answers in a case. Each lawyer introduces evidence and witnesses favorable to their side, and argues issues favorable to their side. Since you sometimes have to read dissenting opinions in cases, the reasoning the Court uses to get to the answer is more important than the decision itself.

Engineers on jury panels can drive attorneys crazy, because they want one right answer and there are two possible answers.

I have a law degree and a science degree. Would a philosophy major please tell me what kinds of logic these two schools of thought represent?

Thank you.
