LOGIC IN THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF LAWMAKING G...

This book presents the current state of the art regarding the application of logical tools to
the problems of theory and practice of lawmaking. It shows how contemporary logic may be useful
in the analysis of legislation  legislative drafting and legal reasoning concerning different
contexts of law making.Elaborations of the process of law making have variously emphasised its
political  social or economic aspects. Yet despite strong interest in logical analyses of law 
questions remains about the role of logical tools in law making. This volume attempts to bridge
that gap  or at least to narrow it  drawing together some important research problems-and some
possible solutions-as seen through the work of leading contemporary academics.The volume
encompasses 20 chapters written by authors from 16 countries and it presents diversified views
on the understanding of logic (from strict mathematical approaches to the informal 
argumentative ones) and differentiated choices concerning the aspects of law making taken into
account. The book presents a broad set of perspectives  insights and results into the emerging
field of research devoted to the logical analysis of the area of creation of law.How does logic
inform lawmaking?Are legal systems consistent and complete?How can legal rules be represented
by means of formal calculi and visualization techniques?Does the structure of statutes or of
legal systems resemble the structure of deductive systems?What are the logical relations
between the basic concepts of jurisprudence that constitute the system of law?How are theories
of legal interpretation relevant to the process of legislation?How might the statutory text be
analysed by means of contemporary computer programs?These and other questions  ranging from the
theoretical to the immediately practical  are addressed in this definitive collection.
