Argumentation Schemes for Legal Presumption of Causality
Proceedings of the Nineteenth International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Law, 2023Causal reasoning is a challenging topic not only in philosophy, science and in theories of human mind, but also in legal reasoning. Causality is indeed a key precondition for civil and criminal liability, in all cases dealing with the connection between human actions or omissions and harmful events.

Persuasion and Value in Legal Argument
Journal of Logic and Computation, 2005In this paper we consider legal reasoning as a species of practical reasoning. As such it is important both that arguments are considered in the context of competing, attacking and supporting arguments, and that the possibility of rational disagreement is accommodated.

Burden of proof in legal argumentation
Proceedings of the fifth international conference on Artificial intelligence and law - ICAIL '95, 1995We present a computational model of dialectical argumentation that could serve as a basis for studying elements of legal reasoning. Argumentation is well-suited to decisionmaking in the legal domain, where knowledge is incomplete, uncertain, and inconsistent, We model an argument both as information structure, i.e., argument units connecting claims ...

The issue here, of course, is not the difference between good arguments and bad, between more convincing arguments and less convincing arguments, for they are already arguments.

Automated construction of legal arguments
International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 1991Unlike ordinary expert systems, an automated legal reasoning system does not aim to provide an answer. Its objective should be to provide, for any given case, a well-constructed argument (or preferably several of them) rather than a definitive answer. In this article, some major issues in the design and development of automated legal reasoning systems ...

Categorising justifications in legal argument
Proceedings. Tenth International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications. DEXA 99, 1999The article discusses the various justifications that can be given for components of a legal argument. First a number of different types of argument are described. These are used in legal reasoning, but cannot be satisfactorily reduced to deductive arguments.

Legal Argumentation and Legal Interpretation
2017As an introduction to the discussion of theories of legal justification in the following chapters, this chapter discusses the central topics in the literature on interpretation and application of legal rules in particular, and the law in general. The central focus of this introduction is on the discretionary space judges have in interpreting and ...
