Why Is Legal Reasoning Defeasible? ∗
"... Abstract. This paper analyses the claim that legal reasoning is defeasible, which is indeed a hallmark of some major contributions to the theory of legal reasoning in recent times. Before addressing the question of what kind of logical tools are needed to formalize defeasible reasoning, it must be e ..."

Time in Automated Legal Reasoning
"... Despite the ubiquity of time and temporal references in legal texts, their formalization has often been either disregarded or addressed in an ad hoc manner. In this paper we address this issue from the standpoint of the research done on temporal representation and reasoning in AI. We identify the ..."

LEGAL REASONING AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF LAW
"... Abstract. There are two competing views on what makes propositions of law true. The one, legal realism, takes it that propositions of law are true because they reflect an independently existing reality of legal facts. These facts would be generated by legal rules which would operate autonomously, w ..."

A Dialectical Model of Assessing Conflicting Arguments in Legal Reasoning
- Artificial Intelligence and Law
, 1996
"... . Inspired by legal reasoning, this paper presents a formal framework for assessing conflicting arguments. Its use is illustrated with applications to realistic legal examples, and the potential for implementation is discussed. The framework has the form of a logical system for defeasible argumentat ..."

Chapter 18 Argumentation in Legal Reasoning
"... A popular view of what Artificial Intelligence can do for lawyers is that it can do no more than deduce the consequences from a precisely stated set of facts and legal rules. This immediately makes many lawyers sceptical about the usefulness of such systems: this mechanical approach seems to leave o ..."

A Framework for Open Mechanized Legal Reasoning
"... Abstract. We build on the analogy between theorem proving and legal reasoning. In the former case it was shown that mechanized reasoning is always achieved provided there is a theory, a control on this theory and some rules governing this controlled theory once introduced in a given environment. We ..."

Summary A DIALOGICAL MODEL OF LEGAL REASONING
"... This paper argues the thesis that the rules of law are best viewed as rules for dialogues rather than as rules constituting institutional facts. Starting from this view, a dialogical model of legal reasoning is developed. The paper provides an example of such a model in action. Thereafter a prelude ..."

An Actual Application of an Analogical Legal Reasoning System Dependent on Legal Purposes Abstract
"... We have already developed a legal reasoning system by analogy based on a framework, called Goal-Dependent Abstraction (GDA), to detect similarities dependent on given goals. According to the framework, two legal concepts are regarded as similar ones, provided they share the same explanation of a leg ..."
