A Mathematical Framework for Modeling Legal Reasoning through Conditional Logic - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Legal Reasoning has challenged both logicians and philosophers in the task of representing legal knowledge and modeling the decision-making process in the Law. Despite state-of-the-art of current theories, some questions still arise, as to whether legal reasoning can actually be captured in all its characteristics by a logical formalism that is both complete and sound, and whether legal reasoning is computable. Towards solving these questions, the author presents a logical translation of legal argumentation based on ranking function semantics and also introduces a mathematical environment to allow for its implementation.This book is an interdisciplinary study in Civil Procedural Law, Constitutional Law and Artificial Intelligence, and is a revised version of the author's original thesis.The author serves as a Justice of the Espirito Santo State Supreme Court and is a former professor of the Vitoria College of Law, with which he was affiliated for 21 years. He holds SJD and LLM degrees from the University of São Paulo and MCS from the Federal University of Espírito Santo.
