  • Chapter
Informatics and the Foundations of Legal Reasoning

Part of the book series: Law and Philosophy Library ((LAPS,volume 21))

Abstract

In the present paper I would like to examine some of the relations between Artificial Intelligence, especially Expert Systems, and the law of the European Communities. My analysis will be carried out from a legal theoretical point of view and will be exploratory in character. I shall first sort out some areas and background problems of EC law of particular interest to the legal theorist acting as an advisor on basic problems concerning the design of systems of the expert domain or decision support systems. Secondly I shall follow the late Jerzy Wróblewski and critically reconstruct his analytical model of the application of the law as applied to the law of the European Communities pointing out the epistemological and phenomenological moments where Artificial Intelligence can provide some help.1
