Abstract

This paper describes how a legal expert system is enhanced by the use of an Assumption-based Truth Maintenance System (ATMS). An ATMS is a general construct that aids an expert system by keeping track of the dependencies of the expert system. It is also capable of handling inconsistencies in the expert system, by dividing the database of the expert system into partially disjunct databases, each consistent.
