Title: Law, Logic, Rhetoric: A Procedural Model of Legal Argumentation
Abstract: Legal argumentation can be modeled using logic, but in this chapter it is claimed that logic alone does not suffice. A model should also take the rhetoric nature of legal argumentation into account. DiaLaw is such a model: a formal, procedural model in which the logical and rhetorical aspects of argumentation are combined. The core of this chapter consists of a description of the basic concepts of DiaLaw and an extensive account of why rhetorical, non-logical elements of legal argumentation are essential.
