Abstract

This paper provides a description of a legal reasoning process. The presentation originates from a research project combining Law and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and contains theoretical results from system-developing activities that have been carried out in cooperation with the Swedish Court Administration and a major Swedish employer's association. The research project, and several parallel projects at the Swedish Law and Informatics Research Institute (IRI), is being documented in the series IRI-reports.Related work, especially focusing on computerized formalization of legal norms and legal decision processes from a jurisprudential perspective is carried out at The Norwegian Research Center for Computers and Law, but contributions have also been made by many others1 and legal reasoning has been investigated from somewhat different perspectives2.
