This book is unique in presenting an interdisciplinary conversation
between jurists and logicians. It brings together scholars from both law
and philosophy and looks at the application of ‘the new logics’ to law and
legal ordering, in a number of legal systems. The first part explores the
ways in which the new logics shed light on the functioning of legal orders,
including the structure of legal argumentation and the rules of evidence.
The second addresses how non-classical logics can help us to understand
the interactions between multiple legal orders, in a range of contexts
including domestic and international law. The final part examines particular
issues in the applicability of non-classical logics to legal reasoning.
This book will be of interest to scholars and students of law, jurisprudence
and logic who want to deepen their understanding of the relationships
between law and logic, and learn about recent developments in formal
logic and their implications for legal reasoning.
