    The document discusses the negative-opposite doctrine or argumentum a contrario, which means that what is expressly stated puts an end to what is implied. It provides that an argument can be made that something is correct precisely because it is not disproven by a specific case. The document gives examples of how this type of argument can be used appropriately in legal interpretation to determine the intent of a law when it does not expressly cover a situation, as well as inappropriately when it is used fallaciously to place the letter of the law over its spirit.
