Towards Systematic Research on Statutory Interpretation in AI and Law
Michał Araszkiewicz · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2013
This paper proposes a semi-formal model of legal argumentation concerning statutory interpretation in civil law countries, encompassing set-theoretical analysis of extensions of legal terms and the use of argumentation schemes. An actual example decided by the Polish Supreme Administrative Court is discussed in the context of the proposed model. It is contended that the scheme proposed here should be useful for the development of practically significant legal knowledge bases concerning statutory law.
