8. März 2021, von Internetredaktion
'Introduction to Legal Logic' is taught by Prof. Dr. Matthias Armgardt in the summer semester 2021 at the University of Hamburg. The course is offered by the Chair of Global Legal History and Civil Law in cooperation with the LLCA project hosted by ZerDiT at the University of Hamburg.
The course gives students a first introduction to legal logic. It starts with a more or less thorough presentation of propositional and predicate logic and then moves on to give an introduction to deontic logic. The course's target audience are law students, doctoral students and post-docs.
Legal logic can be used for quality control in law making and the drafting of contracts. It is the basis for the application of artificial intelligence in law and legal tech. Today, artificial intelligence and legal tech do have an impact on the everyday work of lawyers, judges and law makers and new job profiles at the intersection of the fields of law, logic and computer science are beginning to appear.
The course 'Introduction to Legal Logic', held in the summer semester, is the basis and a prerequisite for a second and more advanced course on legal logic taught in the winter semester.
