Abstract
To develop a court argumentation system of three agents: a plaintiff, a defendant, and a judge, this paper constructs task models of courtroom investigation. More specifically, we develop the algorithms of evidence questioning and evaluation, and establish a mechanism for fact finding, which consists of evidence-claim networks and evidence aggregation. Finally, we illustrate our system with a real legal scenario.
