Although argumentation is often studied in AI using abstract frameworks, actual debate often shows a dynamic interaction between argument structure and attack. Often intermediates steps in the reasoning are omitted, but it may be these intermediate steps which are the vulnerable parts of the argument. Inspired by Loui and Norman’s work on the rationale of arguments, we study the relation between argument structure and attack in terms of the unpacking of arguments. The paper provides an analysis of two kinds of rationales discussed by Loui and Norman. Example dialogues inspired by Dutch tort law are used for illustration.

“…This development eventually reached the AI and Law community and led to a surge in the use of such models for the analysis of legal text from around 2017 onwards." 57 Although our own qualitative review of our corpus supports this perspective, we thought it might be useful to empirically analyze this proposition.…”

“…56 Legal AI and Legal NLP is a long-standing field with papers tracing back many decades. 57 Over time the field has seen significant methodological innovation. Consider a recent review of the Legal AI papers (authored by several leading scholars in the field) which discusses the increasing use of sophisticated methods.…”

In this paper, we summarize the current state of the field of NLP & Law with a specific focus on recent technical and substantive developments. To support our analysis, we construct and analyze a nearly complete corpus of more than six hundred NLP & Law related papers published over the past decade. Our analysis highlights several major trends. Namely, we document an increasing number of papers written, tasks undertaken, and languages covered over the course of the past decade. We observe an increase in the sophistication of the methods which researchers deployed in this applied context. Slowly but surely, Legal NLP is beginning to match not only the methodological sophistication of general NLP but also the professional standards of data availability and code reproducibility observed within the broader scientific community. We believe all of these trends bode well for the future of the field, but many questions in both the academic and commercial sphere still remain open.

The first issue of Artificial Intelligence and Law journal was published in 1992. This paper provides commentaries on nine significant papers drawn from the Journal's second decade. Four of the papers relate to reasoning with legal cases, introducing contextual considerations, predicting outcomes on the basis of natural language descriptions of the cases, comparing different ways of representing cases, and formalising precedential reasoning. One introduces a method of analysing arguments that was to become very widely used in AI and Law, namely argumentation schemes. Two relate to ontologies for the representation of legal concepts and two take advantage of the increasing availability of legal corpora in this decade, to automate document summarisation and for the mining of arguments.
