Abstract

Artificial Intelligence and Law 11: 77–79, 2003. From 12 to 18 August 2003, the 21st World Congress on Law and Philosophy (IVR) was held in Lund, Sweden. One of the special workshops, chaired by Giovanni Sartor and Jaap Hage, was devoted to issues that are also relevant for Artificial Intelligence and Law. This special issue contains a number of the papers that were presented at the workshop. Lindahl and Odelstad describe an algebraic approach to normative systems. In their approach, a well-formed normative system contains two subsystems. One subsystem deals with relations between ‘‘grounds’’, such as being in good faith, and having possession of a good, and their logical compounds. The other subsystem deals with ‘‘consequences’’, such as being under an obligation to return a good to its owner, and their logical compounds. The two subsystems are connected by so-called ‘‘connecting norms’’, which attach deontic consequences to the grounds. The authors argue that if a normative system is well-formed, the so-called ‘‘at least as low’’ relation that holds between connecting norms, determines a lattice or a quasi-lattice.
