Abstract:
According to Legrand, harmonization of European private law by means of a European Civil Code would not work, because of the different legal cultures (mentalités) within which such a code would have to operate. In the civil law tradition, legal reasoning on the basis of such a code would be deductive in the sense of the application of rules that are posited prior to the cases to which they should be applied. In the common law tradition, the starting point of legal reasoning is in the cases themselves. As a consequence, common law reasoning would abstract less from the peculiarities of individual cases. The main point of this paper is that Legrand's picture of civil law reasoning is based on the subsumption model of rule application, which does not allow adaptation of the law to the needs of concrete cases other than through the limited possibilities of interpretation. It is argued that this picture is wrong. As an alternative, the reason-based model of rule application is proposed, which allows legal decision makers much more leeway to tailor the law to the needs of concrete cases. In a comparison with case-based reasoning it is argued that rule-based reasoning, according to the reason-based model, gives the decision maker the same leeway. The final conclusion is that possible differences in legal culture between the civil law and the common law tradition are not rooted in the distinction between rule-based reasoning and case-based reasoning, and are therefore merely contingent. There is no reason why the introduction of a European Civil Code could not overcome the differences between the two traditions. Whether this would be desirable is a different question.

Abstract:
In this paper, stimulated by the publication some years ago in France of a small book on medical reasoning, legal and medical reasoning are compared. The question that is asked is whether the differences between the two types of reasoning will permit one to have a better understanding of some of the methodological and epistemological issues associated with legal reasoning. It will be argued that although medical and legal reasoners do share things in common, legal reasoning, perhaps unlike medical reasoning, is actually concerned less with the explanation or even comprehension of texts or the facts of a dispute (explicatio causæ) and more with what will be termed the ‘manipulation’ of facts (accommodatio factorum). Lawyers purify and (or) construct ‘virtual’ factual situations out of perceived ‘actual’ factual situations in order to make them conform or not conform in an isomorphic way with factual situations implied by a legal text or precedent. Medical reasoning is equally complex but facts are read in a different way.

Abstract:
Advokat harus mempunyai kemampuan dalam Penalaran Hukum (Legal Reasoning) yang baik, agar dalam melaksanakan layanan hukum tersebut dapat memberikan argumentasi atau alasan hukum yang baik dan jelas. Legal Reasoning adalah pencarian “reason” tentang hukum atau pencarian dasar tentang bagaimana seorang hakim memutuskan suatu perkara/kasus hukum yang dihadapinya, bagaimana seorang Advokat memberikan argumentasi hukum dan bagaimana seorang ahli hukum menalar hukum. Legal Reasoning harus memahami sumber-sumber- sumber hukum formil, yaitu undang-undang, kebiasaan dan adat, perjanjian, traktat, yurisprudensi tetap dan doktrin. Sumber Hukum Utama dalam Hukum Positif Indonesia adalah Peraturan Perundang-undangan (Hukum Tertulis), akan tetapi seringkali Peraturan Perundang-undangan (Hukum Tertulis) tertinggal oleh perkembangan masyarakat. Untuk mengisi kekosongan Peraturan Perundang-undangan (Hukum Tertulis) dan pencarian dari arti dan makna dari suatu peraturan perundangan-undangan, dalam ilmu hukum dikenal dengan Konstruksi Hukum dan Interpretasi (Penafsiran Hukum). Konstruksi terdiri dari 3 (tiga) bentuk yaitu Analogi (Abstraksi), Determinasi (Penghalusan Hukum) dan Argumentum A Contrario.

Abstract:
This article deals with general problem of connection between legal reasoning, legal argumentation and, on the other hand, logic. Although this connection seems obvious since ancient times, its nature is still the subject of non-trivial discussions. The purpose of my study is to explore one important aspect of this connection, namely, is general, or formal, logic necessary and sufficient to determine relevant form of legal reasoning and argumentation? To reach this purpose, method of comparative analysis is employed both synchronically and diachronically. First, in order to prove importance of the issue, a diachronic comparison of several basic approaches is carried out (G.W. von Leibniz, O.W. Holmes, Jr., etc.). Then a comparative analysis of the views of some contemporary experts is carried out, especially Ilmar Tammelo and Stephen Toulmin. It is argued, in the field of law there is a special legal validity that differs significantly from the formal-logical validity. The legal validity is determined directly and mainly by the value of the right not by the value of formal or material truth. It is not the subject of formal logic, but of a special legal logic and, more broadly, informal logic. Therefore, formal logic does not determine relevant form of legal reasoning and argumentation, since, first of all, there is the essential difference between the formal-logical validity and the legal validity. It is argued, formal logic is neither sufficient nor necessary to think like a jurist. In this regard, it is shown that the formal-logical standard of proof is not sufficient to determine the relevant form of valid legal proof. There are at least three standards of legal proof – proof without reasonable doubt, proof by clear and convincing evidence, and proof by preponderance of the evidence. Each of them differs significantly from the formal-logical standard. The conclusion of this research is this: it cannot be said that general logic does not work at all in the field of law. However, in order to reason and argue like a successful jurist, one must to grasp and use, without any exceptions, the special legal logic that belongs to the domain of contemporary informal logic.

A thesis which explores the possibility of introducing Bayesian probability methods into the criminal justice system, and in doing so, exposing and eradicating some common fallacies. This exposure aims to reduce miscarriages of justice by illustrating that some evidence routinely relied upon by the prosecution, may not have as high a probative value towards its ultimate hypothesis of ‘guilt’ as has been traditionally thought and accepted.

Coyle, Sean. "On the foundations of legal reasoning in international law." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1998. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5124/.

Full text
Abstract:
Issues pertaining to the "foundations" of legal reasoning in international law break down into several discrete questions: what do statements about law mean; how do they get their meaning: to what do legal terms refer; in what does knowledge of law consist; how do we reason with legal concepts; what constitutes a criterion for argumentative success; how do bodies of legal concepts combine to form systems; is the conceptual organisation of different types of legal system, such as municipal law and international law, necessarily (or even factually) the same at some fundamental level?... This thesis is concerned with some measure with all of these questions, but the focus throughout is on those of the meaning of what we say about law, of legal knowledge, and of topological issues regarding legal systems (that is, how various types of legal system stand, conceptually, to one another). The thesis falls into two parts. The first, which is critical in nature, looks at some of the ways in which modern positivism has attempted to supply answers to these questions. It shall be argued that underlying those attempts is a particular view about the foundations of legal reasoning which has remained fairly constant in modern legal theory, not only among the positivists but also commonly among their sceptic rivals. Several difficulties with this view are raised and explored, all of which have contributed to the notion that international law is, when viewed through the spectacles of a municipal lawyer, at best a primitive system of law. The heart of Part I is a discussion of the character of legal knowledge. This takes place in the context of an account of the "Institutional Theory of Law" (ITL), as propounded by Neil MacCormick and Ota Weinberger. The argument that emerges is one broadly in favour of ITL, though critical of the methodological and philosophical assumptions on the basis of which the main edifice of the theory rests. It is submitted that such assumptions are the result of misplaced views about semantics and the nature of reference. Part I ends with the suggestion of an alternative, and hopefully more stable, strategy for generating the account of legal knowledge for which ITL strove. Part II comprises a positive thesis about the foundations of legal reasoning in international law, developed on the back of the strategy in Part I.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines what it means to decide a legal case according to precedent. I present a descriptive model of precedent, which relies on cognitive science studies of human reasoning to explain some characteristics of precedential reasoning. My basic thesis is that the traditional view of precedential reasoning is an inadequate descriptive model of how adjudication actually operates. The traditional view suggests that precedential reasoning involves the deductive application of a rule to the undecided case, where the rule is derived either from other precedents or from a fundamental legal or moral principle. On this view, precedential reasoning is just a modified form of deductive reasoning. I shall suggest that this view does not account for the freedom judges have to ignore precedent that might seem to bind them, and equally the constraints judges feel upon them to decide according to precedent in situations where they are not bound. To counter this, I present a model which relies on three fundamental concepts. First, I suggest that precedential reasoning involves two inter-linked processes of discovery and justification. Discovery is the process by which a judge concludes that a precedent can be applied to the current case, on account of a number of similarities between the precedent and the case. Justification is the process of explaining why a particular 'discovered' precedent should apply to the current case. The second major concept is the idea of constraints on decision-making. Rather than suggesting that legal cases or rules are the only constraints on precedential reasoning, I shall show that many other psychologically-explicable constraints operate when judges decide cases. These constraints include the effect of metaphors, the nature of analogical reasoning, and the effect of inductive inference. The final fundamental concept is the application of Gestalt psychology to understand how these constraints can unconsciously affect precedential reasoning. Using this approach, I show how it can be that judges can be constrained, but be unaware of those constraints.
