Letters from colleagues remembering Don in a personal way

Letters from colleagues remembering Don in a personal way Artificial Intelligence and Law 10: 7–17, 2002. Letters from colleagues remembering Don in a personal way For me it is hard to believe that Don is not still with us, for my own personal images of him are so vibrant and his influence on our field is so strong, it is hard to believe otherwise. I suspect – and hope – that it will ever be so. One of my earliest meetings with Don was in the fall of 1985, while I was spend- ing a sabbatical at Harvard Law School as a Lecturer, and teaching my seminar on AI and Legal Reasoning for the first time. I remember a soft autumn afternoon and sitting at an outside table at some typical bistro in Harvard Square, perhaps the old Casablanca, with him and Carole and talking about the possibilities for AI and Law. I remember us all boisterously discussing, amongst other things, legal rules, rule-based reasoning, case-based reasoning, legal realism, and the Constitution, and finding that we shared so much – for instance, a skepticism of rules – that we really couldn’t force ourselves into true adversarial positions.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence and Law 10: 7–17, 2002. Letters from colleagues remembering Don in a personal way For me it is hard to believe that Don is not still with us, for my own personal images of him are so vibrant and his influence on our field is so strong, it is hard to believe otherwise. I suspect – and hope – that it will ever be so. One of my earliest meetings with Don was in the fall of 1985, while I was spend- ing a sabbatical at Harvard Law School as a Lecturer, and teaching my seminar on AI and Legal Reasoning for the first time. I remember a soft autumn afternoon and sitting at an outside table at some typical bistro in Harvard Square, perhaps the old Casablanca, with him and Carole and talking about the possibilities for AI and Law. I remember us all boisterously discussing, amongst other things, legal rules, rule-based reasoning, case-based reasoning, legal realism, and the Constitution, and finding that we shared so much – for instance, a skepticism of rules – that we really couldn’t force ourselves into true adversarial positions. That is not to say we didn’t enjoy arguing about them
