โœฆ Synopsis

Reasoning with cases has been a primary focus of those working in AI and law who have attempted to model legal reasoning. In this paper we put forward a formal model of reasoning with cases which captures many of the insights from that previous work. We begin by stating our view of reasoning with cases as a process of constructing, evaluating and applying a theory. Central to our model is a view of the relationship between cases, rules based on cases, and the social values which justify those rules. Having given our view of these relationships, we present our formal model of them, and explain how theories can be constructed, compared and evaluated. We then show how previous work can be described in terms of our model, and discuss extensions to the basic model to accommodate particular features of previous work. We conclude by identifying some directions for future work.

We describe the theories of approximate reasoning and mathematical evidence. We show that in the face of possibilistic uncertainty they lead to equivalent inferences. After appropriately extending the mathematical theory of evidence to the fuzzy environment we show that these two theories are equiva

The volume is somewhat of an anomaly in sociological literature, but it is none the less welcome for its very non-conformity. 1 The above statement by George E. Vincent in his 1903 review of Charles Horton Cooley's Human Nature and the Social Order can serve to give the reader some indication of th
