More about the book
Focusing on the dynamics of reasoning in legal contexts, Douglas Walton introduces a novel model that integrates argumentation theory with the law of evidence. This approach challenges traditional deductive and inductive logic by embracing a broader definition of "reasonable" legal argumentation as a dynamic conversation. By redefining relevance and probative weight through pragmatic criteria, Walton emphasizes the importance of plausible evidence over absolute truth, offering fresh insights into legal reasoning and argument evaluation.
