Lesson 1: The ‘Migo’ Principle
In this class, we will explore the Talmudic principle of ‘migo’ — a reasoning often employed by the court to ascertain the veracity of a claim.
Lesson 2: When a ‘Migo’ is Invalid
In this class we will probe the limitations of a ‘migo’ — challenging us in some Talmudic mental aerobics.
Lesson 3: The ‘Happeh She’assar’ Principle
In this class we will explore the right of a claimant to qualify his claim using the Talmudic principle of ‘happeh she’assar’, and how it differs from the logic of a ‘migo’.
Lesson 4: The Admission Principle
In this class we will explore the Talmudic principle of ‘hoda’at baal din’, analyzing the reasoning for accepting a litigant’s self-confession and its limitations.
