Legal Argumentation and Rhetoric in the Age of AI

by European Faculty of Law, New University

The 12th LEGARG Conference, titled "Legal Argumentation and Rhetoric in the Age of AI," was held on November 30 and December 1, 2023, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. This annual event was organized by the European Faculty of Law at the New University, in collaboration with the Catholic Institute's Faculty of Law and Economics.

The conference focused on the intersection of legal argumentation, rhetoric, and artificial intelligence. Key sessions included discussions on introducing AI to legal reasoning, the impact of AI on legal reasoning, and the role of AI in rhetorical proofs within legal argumentation. Notable presentations addressed topics such as the nature of intelligence, the virtues and challenges of AI in law, and constitutionalism in the algorithmic society.

The event featured a keynote speech by Christopher Tindale on "Rhetorical Invention, Argumentation, and the AI Challenge." Additionally, the conference provided opportunities for networking among scholars, practitioners, and students interested in the evolving role of AI in legal contexts.

This conference was particularly relevant for legal scholars, practitioners, and students seeking to understand and engage with the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in legal argumentation and rhetoric.
