Modelling Legal Argument: Reasoning with Cases and Hypotheticals, a Thesis Proposal.
@inproceedings{Ashley1986ModellingLA, title={Modelling Legal Argument: Reasoning with Cases and Hypotheticals, a Thesis Proposal.}, author={Kevin D. Ashley}, year={1986} }
Abstract : This thesis proposal outlines a program, HYPO, to model reasoning with cases and hypotheticals. The program comprises a means of representing and indexing cases in a Case Knowledge Base (CKB), a computational definition of relevance in terms of dimensions which capture the utility of a case for making a particular kind of argument, a dimension-based method for other cases, for making and responding to points in an argument, for asking pertinent questions and for generating…

Argumentation Schemes for Reasoning about Factors with Dimensions

This paper examines how dimensions as used in the HYPO system can provide grounds on which to argue about which factors should apply to a case and advances the overall account of reasoning with legal cases and make it more robust.
Towards Annotating and Extracting Textual Legal Case Factors

Case based reasoning is a crucial aspect of common law practice, where lawyers select precedent cases which they use to argue for or against a decision in a current case. To select the precedents,…
Artificial Intelligence and Legal Reasoning: A Discussion of the Field and Gardner's Book
- LawAI Mag.

The emerging field of artificial intelligence and legal reasoning is discussed, some of which seem tantalizingly tractable with currently well-understood methodologies such as those of expert systems, and others seem to subsume exceedingly hard problems such as natural language understanding.
A formalization of argumentation schemes for legal case-based reasoning in ASPIC+

In this article we offer a formal account of reasoning with legal cases in terms of argumentation schemes. These schemes, and undercutting attacks associated with them, are formalized as defeasible…
The case for cases : a call for purity in case-based reasoningRobert

A basic premise of case-based reasoning (CBR) is that it involves reasoning from cases, which are representations of real episodes, rather than from rules, which are facts and if then structures with…

Combining Case-Based and Rule-Based Reasoning: A Heuristic Approach

A heuristically controlled approach to combining reasoning with cases and reasoning with rules, and the need for melding case-based and rule-based reasoning on statutory interpretation problems is described.

Ease of implementation, the efficacy of the resulting program, ease of refinement of the program, transparency of the reasoning, relation to formal argumentation techniques, and transferability across domains are evaluated.
