Fundamentals of Legal Argumentation

A Survey of Theories on the Justification of Judicial Decisions

Beschreibung

Legal argumentation is a distinctively multidisciplinary field of inquiry. It draws its data, assumptions and methods from disciplines such as legal theory, legal philosophy, logic, argumentation theory, rhetoric, linguistics, literary theory, philosophy, sociology, and artificial intelligence. This presents the growing group of interested scholars and students with a problem of access, since, even for those active in the field, it is not common to have acquired a familiarity with relevant aspects of each discipline that enters into this multidisciplinary matrix. Fundamentals of Legal Argumentation offers its readers a unique and comprehensive survey of the various theoretical influences which have informed the study of legal argumentation. It discusses salient backgrounds to this field as well as all major approaches and trends in the contemporary research. It surveys relevant theoretical factors both from various continental law traditions and common law countries.

"The most comprehensive overview of the different theories about legal argumentation in circulation. ... Eveline Feteris has made a veritable tour de force to collect the materials that were needed for her overview. The result of her work is a treasure trove for anybody who wants to obtain an overview of the existing research or looks for a reference to a particular article or book on the subject."
