Abstract
In this chapter we will draw upon insights from computational approaches and argumentation theories to create a framework for the rational reconstruction of legal argument. Taking the perspective of a lawyer we develop a conceptual model intended to accommodate all stages involved in legal argument. We then relate Argumentation Theory and work in AI and Law to this conceptual model. We conclude by considering the scope for the two disciplines learning from one another, and by drawing attention to areas that we believe offer fruitful opportunities for inter-disciplinary research.
