The ambition of the conference is to provide a permanent platform to discuss and explore the alternative methods of legal argumentation, i.e. those that are not regularly employed in everyday legal practice, but would prove extremely valuable if adopted. It is thus our intention to bring new stimuli to both the traditional and alternative approaches to the argumentation by showing that the outcomes of both are valuable and can be combined in coherent theories.

The conference consists of four workshops/streams each specialized in a specific and unique method of studying legal argumentation:

-         Formal Methods in Legal Reasoning

-         Law and Literature

-         Law and Language

-         Visualization of Law
