Summary
This case study demonstrates in more detail how one particular technique – computational argumentation – can be effectively used to build automated reasoning tools that provide decision support capabilities for legal practitioners. This case study will also demonstrate how legal cases can be represented and interpreted through computational models of arguments, and how this enables software programs to generate and reason about the relevant arguments for deciding a case, akin to human judicial reasoning.
