Abstract

Roles are widely addressed in multi-agents systems with social norms but roles in legal systems are quite different. The relation between legal norms and roles have specific features that when comes to applications create a distance with the expectations from law practitioners. This paper analyse roles in legal systems with legal norms and present the extension of [1] about representing norms as social objects consenting the representation of the assignment of roles and the chain between principles, norms and roles.
