Using Argumentation Schemes to Model Legal Reasoning (2210.00315v1)
Published 1 Oct 2022 in cs.AI
Abstract: We present argumentation schemes to model reasoning with legal cases. We provide schemes for each of the three stages that take place after the facts are established: factor ascription, issue resolution and outcome determination. The schemes are illustrated with examples from a specific legal domain, US Trade Secrets law, and the wider applicability of these schemes is discussed.
