In this section, there are passages of about 450 words which you have to read, comprehend, and draw logical conclusions. The passages are related to Legal situations and scenarios. This section does not require any prior knowledge of the Law but your knowledge of contemporary legal and moral issues will complement you in your CLAT exam. This section has around 28-32 questions in the exam, accounting for 25% of the CLAT exam. The Consortium of NLUs says the candidates in the Legal Reasoning section will be required to:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Identify and draw conclusions about the rules and principles presented in the passage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply such rules and principles to various fact situations; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand how changes to the rules or principles may alter their application to various fact situations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Get first&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/clat-coaching\">CLAT Online Coaching<\/a>&nbsp;by iQuanta!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-clat-legal-reasoning-important-for-clat-aspirants\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_CLAT_legal_reasoning_important_for_CLAT_Aspirants\"><\/span><strong>Why is CLAT legal reasoning important for CLAT Aspirants?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The CLAT legal reasoning plays an important role in evaluating the candidate\u2019s ability to understand and apply legal principles in everyday contexts.

Even the candidates from the non-legal background can excel in this section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tests decision making: Whether you are reading a statute or analyzing judgements, the legal reasoning section assesses your potential to solve legal problems based on logic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-clat-legal-reasoning-important-topics\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CLAT_Legal_Reasoning_Important_Topics\"><\/span><strong>CLAT Legal Reasoning <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Important Topics<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CLAT-Legal-Reasoning-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"CLAT Legal Reasoning\" class=\"wp-image-25064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CLAT-Legal-Reasoning-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CLAT-Legal-Reasoning-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CLAT-Legal-Reasoning-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CLAT-Legal-Reasoning-1-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CLAT-Legal-Reasoning-1-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CLAT-Legal-Reasoning-1-1068x601.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CLAT-Legal-Reasoning-1-747x420.png 747w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CLAT-Legal-Reasoning-1.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">CLAT Legal Reasoning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Legal Reasoning section of CLAT accounts for 25% of the whole exam.

This principle<br>is embodied in the maxim volenti non fit injuria. A person cannot complain of harm to the<br>chances of which he has exposed himself with his free consent and free will. The maxim volenti<br>non fit injuria is founded on good sense and justice. A person who has invited or assented to<br>an act being done towards him cannot, when he suffers from it, complain of it as a wrong. The<br>maxim presupposes a tortious act by the defendant. The maxim applies, in the first place, to<br>intentional acts which would otherwise be tortious. There are certain limitations to the<br>application of this maxim:<br>(i) It is no answer to a claim made by a workman against his employer for injury caused through<br>a breach by the employer of a duty imposed upon him by a statute. But where the negligence<br>or breach of statutory duty is on the part of an employee of the plaintiff who knowingly accepts<br>the risk flowing from such breach and the employer-defendant is not guilty of negligence or<br>breach of statutory duty, the defence of volenti non fit injuria is available to the defendant.<br>(ii) Under an exigency caused by the defendant\u2019s wrongful misconduct, consciously and<br>deliberately faced a risk, even of death, whether the person endangered is one to whom he owes<br>a duty of protection, as a member of his family, or is a mere stranger to whom he owes no such<br>special duty. The rescuer will not be deprived of his remedy merely because the risk which he runs is not the same as that run by the person whom he rescues. But where there is no need to<br>take any risk, the person suffering harm in doing so cannot recover.<br>(iii) To cover a case of negligence the defence on the basis of the maxim must be based on<br>implied agreement whether amounting to contract or not. The defence is available only when<br>the plaintiff freely and voluntarily, with full knowledge of the nature and extent of the risk<br>impliedly agreed to incur it and to waive any claim for injury. But when the plaintiff has no<br>choice or when the notice is given at a stage when it is beyond the ability of the plaintiff to<br>make a choice there can be no implied agreement and the defence on the basis of the maxim<br>must fail.<br>(iv) The maxim will also not apply when the act relied upon is done because of the<br>psychological condition which the defendant\u2019s breach of duty had induced.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get Free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/free-clat-study-material\">CLAT Study Material<\/a> by iQuanta<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong>[CLAT 2021 Legal Reasoning)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q1.
