Logic is a lawyer's best weapon. To this day, Socrates is the master of rhetoric. The ancient Greek historian Xenophon recorded the great philosopher's dialogues, which are read to this day as a guide for finding weakness in arguments and uncovering hidden truths. Law students have been reading Socrates as long as there have been lawyers.
Like an attorney in a courtroom, Socrates used questions of his followers to teach them to think and reason. In The Memorable Thoughts of Socrates, Xenophon portrays the master dashing opposing arguments as well as mounting his own defense at trial.
