This Research Handbook presents thirty-three original contributions from leading experts around the globe on all aspects of legal argumentation. Each chapter combines theoretical and practical perspectives to introduce and develop its topic.
The volume explores the connections between legal argumentation, general jurisprudence, and argumentation theory. The result: the most detailed, comprehensive, and international overview of the field to date. The Research Handbook is organised into five parts. The first examines the core elements of legal argumentation. The second analyses many types of argument commonly used in law. The third situates legal argumentation within broader argumentation theory. The fourth examines its links with general jurisprudence. The fifth and final part takes a more holistic approach to what is involved in judging well.
This Research Handbook will interest not only students and scholars of legal argumentation, legal philosophers, and argumentation theorists, but also lawyers, judges, and other practitioners seeking to better understand their art.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This Handbook provides a tremendously valuable and wide-ranging exploration of the nature of legal argumentation, its aims, constraints, and techniques. The wide range of contributors from common law and civil law jurisdictions adds a critically valuable range of perspectives and intellectual resources. The volume will serve as an essential resource for advanced researchers and a helpful guide to the subject for beginning scholars. Moreover, the clear and accessible writing will engage legal practitioners and promote reflection on the arguments they routinely offer in their everyday legal practice.' -- Michelle Madden Dempsey, Villanova University, USA 'This excellent volume is impressive in its expanse and depth. With a well-balanced mix of theoretical analyses and practical applications, these papers take the reader through the full range of issues and historical figures crucial to argumentation and legal reasoning in ways that are both accessible for the newcomer and yet still rewarding to the seasoned scholar. This book is destined to become a cornerstone of work in the field.' -- Christopher W. Tindale, University of Windsor, Canada
