3. The Architect

Between The Artist and The Inspector come 'The Architect' and 'The Carpenter'. The Architect will read The Artist's jottings and choose the most relevant or interesting ones and put them in a pattern.

The Architect works on Step 2 when he sorts the legally relevant facts from the legally irrelevant facts; Step 3 when he frames the legal questions; Step 6 when he sorts the law into its elements and ingredients; and Step 7 when he applies the law to the facts to identify issues. In this Toolkit, a pencil represents The Architect's mindset.
