Analogical reasoning plays a vital role not only in the domain of precedential law - which may be regarded as a natural home for analogical inference - but also in the province of statutory law.

In effect, analogical arguments appear to be remarkably pervasive in statutory law, although their scope of application often remains hidden. They canoperate either under the veil of the complex conceptual and terminological apparatus typical of civil law countries' legal methodology or as a psychological fact not fully recognized in official theory.
