Philosophy was the only field where I learned formal logic at all. I went into higher math, did some CS, and also got a law degree[1], and am now doing a Ph.D. in informatics, and still the only place I have really been exposed to formal logic was my undergrad degree in philosophy.

[1] It is amazing (or not, depending on your view of lawyers) that lawyers are basically not taught anything about making and proving formal arguments, at least in my experience.

Law is not about logic. It’s about hermeneutics. It’s closer to religion than to math.

Which is why the most successful lawyers are more akin to the most successful evangelists: the ability to hoodwink groups of people with their interpretation.
