Abstract

This work defines a burden of persuasion meta-argumentation model interpreting the burden as a set of meta-arguments. Bimodal graphs are exploited to define a meta level (dealing with the burden) and an object level (dealing with standard arguments). Finally, an example in the law domain addressing the problem of burden inversion is discussed in detail.
