Algorithmic Justice

This collection examines how legal argumentation, in its broadest, rhetorical dimension, responds or should respond, to the emergence of AI. The volume explores the bases of legal reasoning, in its broadest sense, in face of challenges posed by AI. It explores how legal arguers, arguments, and audiences are changing because of AI, and what developments can be expected in the same due to rapid daily alterations in the area. It looks at how the emergence of AI has affected the rhetorical context such as time and place in the domain of legal argumentation. The authors examine how the increasing use of AI in law is modifying the classic means of persuasion, especially the technical ones of logos, ethos, and pathos. Finally, it asks how the five classical canons of rhetoric: inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria, and action – are being impacted.

The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Legal Theory and Jurisprudence, Law and Language, Legal Philosophy, Rhetoric and Logic, and Artificial Intelligence.
