{"product_id":"logical-models-of-legal-argumentation","title":"Logical Models of Legal Argumentation","description":"In the study of forms of legal reasoning, logic and  argumentation theory long followed separate tracks. `Legal logicians'  tended to focus on a deductive reconstruction of justifying a  decision, disregarding the dialectical process leading to the chosen  justification. Others instead emphasized the adversarial and  discretionary nature of legal reasoning, involving reasonable  evaluation of alternative choices, and the use of analogical  reasoning. \u003cbr\u003e  Recently, however, developments in Artificial Intelligence and Law  have paved the way for overcoming this separation. Logic has widened  its scope to defensible argumentation, and informal accounts of  analogy and dialectics have inspired the construction of computer  programs. Thus the prospect is emerging of an integrated logical and  dialectical account of legal argument, adding to the understanding of  legal reasoning, and providing a formal basis for computer tools that  assist and mediate legal debates while leaving room for human  initiative. \u003cbr\u003e  This book presents contributions to this development. From a logical  point of view it covers topics such as evaluating conflicting  arguments, weighing reasons, modelling legal disputes as a dialogue  game, the role of the burden of proof, the relation between  principles, rules, reasons and facts, and the relation between  deductive and nondeductive arguments. Written by leading scholars in  the field and building on recent developments in logic and Artificial  Intelligence, the chapters provide a state-of-the-art account of  research on the logical aspects of legal argument.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53985979466066,"sku":"9780792344131","price":171.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_ecfa3f05-82fd-490c-9047-5bfabcfb85d3.jpg?v=1783894315","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/logical-models-of-legal-argumentation","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
