    Heuristic

    1. Wisdom is difficult to define but involves learning, experience, insight, and tolerance for uncertainty. It allows one to think critically and make balanced decisions. 2. According to Plato, wisdom guides good judgments and decision-making. The law can guard against tyranny by functioning as an external authority that benefits society. 3. Heuristics are mental shortcuts that speed up problem-solving and judgment. Viewing law as a heuristic means it provides general principles that are true in most cases, though not all, which is convenient given the uniqueness of individual cases.

    Ends and effects of law: Wisdom and Law a Heuristic

    1. What is wisdom?

    Due to its broad definition, wisdom is one of those qualities that is difficult
    to pin down but that most people can readily identify when they come across it.
    And it most frequently appears in the context of making decisions. Additionally,
    psychologists frequently concur that wisdom entails the combination of learning,
    life experience, and profound insight, as well as a tolerance for life's
    uncertainties. An understanding of how events unfold across time contributes to
    a sense of balance.
    The combination of education and experience can lead to wisdom. The
    ability to think critically and from a wider perspective can be developed through
    schooling as well as through life's events, such as making important professional
    decisions or resolving difficult interpersonal situations. At this juncture, it is logical
    to say that all lawyers and those who are aspiring to be one takes great
    cognizance to the importance of wisdom, given their chosen field.
    It is painstakingly obvious that lawyers always need to make wise
    decisions and when approaching a decision, having wisdom aid well in order to
    arrive at a sound conclusion. This is due to the fact that with wisdom one can
    paint a clearer picture, exposing contextual elements that can aid in determining
    a match between the demands of the particular circumstance and any situation-
    specific information he/she may have. More importantly, wisdom not only
    promotes empathy and respect for others, but it may also provide one a
    satisfying feeling of purpose.

    2. Plato’s view of law and wisdom

    According to Plato, wisdom makes use of and requires knowledge of


    forms, but its purpose is to make good judgments about the perceptible realm.
    And such wisdom is meant to be action-guiding. In the Republic Plato's injunction
    is in effect: "Become wise yourself, or if you are incapable of it, let yourself be
    guided by one who is truly wise."
    On the other hand, for Plato, the law can guard against tyranny. In the
    Republic, he called the law an “external authority” that functions as the “ally of
    the whole city.” In his other works, he firmly stressed on the importance of law.
    Without a doubt, in this day and age, Plato’s view of law and wisdom has
    become a generally accepted principle that resonates to us all. His
    characterizations of law and wisdom is predominantly used at present.

    3. Law as Heuristic

    Heuristics are cognitive short cuts that enable speedy and effective problem
    solving and judgment. These "rule of thumb" techniques speed up decision-making
    and enable people to carry out their tasks without constantly pausing to consider
    their next course of action. More often than not, its importance is felt/observed in the
    course of our daily lives because in order to cope with the tremendous amount of
    information we encounter, our brains rely on these mental processes to simplify
    things so we don't have to spend countless hours examining every little detail.
    Furthermore, law as a heuristic means law is viewed as a rule of thumb, or
    general principle which is true in most cases but neither accurate nor reliable in all
    cases. Such perspective is the most convenient of all given that all cases are distinct
    which follows different factual antecedents that needs to be considered.
