Analogy: This is reasoning from the particular to the particular, and this is technically distinguished from reasoning from the particular to the general. To draw an analogy between at least two entities is to indicate one or more respects in which they are similar. It is to argue that the legal consequence attached to one set of particular facts may apply to a different set of particular facts because of similarities in the two sets of facts.
