Abstract

Argumentation is central to law: in a legal dispute the opposing parties present their arguments, and the court determines which should be accepted. Consequently legal argumentation has been a prominent topic of research in AI and Law. In this article we will discuss the generation, evaluation and use of arguments in AI and Law. Our focus will be on the chronological development of techniques for these tasks.
