The Quest for Coherence in Judicial Reasoning

Original language description

There are two fundamentally distinct approaches towards modeling of legal reasoning ? the top-down and bottom-up approaches. The main difference lies in the method of acquiring the elements which consequently constitute the model. This paper aims to compare the approaches as regards the resulting model represented in the coherence as constraint satisfaction network. At first the top-down approach is applied to the Court of Justice European Union case of Bezpečnostní softwarová asociace ? Svaz softwarovéochrany v. Ministerstvo kultury ČR and the resulting model is presented and briefly assessed. The very same case is then modeled using the bottom-up approach. While both models that have been created differ quite significantly they display surprisinglysimilar features. Both models suggest that the court provides the interpretation of key terms without grounding it in the provisions of authoritative texts.
