Integrating argumentation, narrative and probability in legal evidence (position paper)

Bart Verheij

Reasoning on the basis of legal evidence has been analysed using three types of approaches: argumentative, narrative and probabilistic. As each type of approach has been defended as a complete account of evidential reasoning, it is natural to assume that there is an integrating perspective. It is here proposed that a logico-probabilistic argumentation theory can integrate argumentative, narrative and probabilistic approaches to legal evidence.
