DESCRIPTION:The aim of this talk to offer a formal
  understanding of common law reasoning -- especial
 ly the nature of this reasoning, but also its poin
 t, or justification, in terms of social coordinati
 on. I will present two, possibly three, formal mod
 els of the common law, and argue for one according
  to which courts are best thought of, not as creat
 ing and modifying rules, but as generating a prior
 ity ordering on reasons. The work draws on bits of
  logic, and also on research in artificial intelli
 gence and law; it contributes to legal theory, and
  also, possibly, to applied ethics.  For more info
 rmation, please contact f.veltman at uva.nl
