Description: "In this work it is argued that legal justification can best be studied from a procedural, dialogical point of view: legal statements are justified, if the audience is convinced in an argumentative dialog. The formalized and implemented model DiaLaw guards the procedure in which two players aim at justifying statements."--BOOK JACKET. "It is stressed that in legal justification not only logically compelling arguments should be considered, but also convincing arguments. Therefore, DiaLaw also deals with the rhetorical, psychological aspects of argument. This book is relevant for scholars in legal theory, artificial intelligence, and argumentation, and can be used in graduate courses on AI & Law, and legal argumentation."--Jacket.
