<h1>Courts use a contrario reasoning to infer opposite legal consequences from what statutes explicitly include</h1> A contrario sensu is a Latin legal term meaning 'on the other hand' or 'in the opposite sense.' This principle of legal interpretation involves drawing conclusions by considering the opposite or contrary meaning of a legal provision. When a statute or legal rule specifies certain conditions or circumstances, a contrario reasoning allows courts to infer that different conditions or circumstances would lead to opposite legal consequences. This interpretative tool helps determine what the law does not cover by examining what it explicitly includes, thereby establishing legal boundaries through logical opposition.
