Abstract
The Pleadings Game is a theoretical model of Alexy’s discourse theory of legal argumentation. The norms of civil pleading are modeled by the preconditions and effects of rules for making certain kinds of claims and arguments during pleading. Legal arguments are not found or constructed by the model. It is not a model of the legal reasoning behavior of lawyers.1 Analytical, empirical and normative claims have been made for the Pleadings Game model. Keeping its purpose and object in mind, let us now try to evaluate to what extent these claims are supported by the game.
