Research Program LAW: Knowledge & AI in Service of Justice

By Ekkehard Finkeissen

In this innovative work, epistemology is shed new light on through the example of legal science, particularly in the context of modeling artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies. The book examines how AI and modern decision theories can revolutionize legal decision-making. It is aimed at legal professionals, judges, lawyers, and students who wish to develop a deeper understanding of law in general and the practical application of AI in particular.

The author confronts the legal community with a fundamental insight: up to this point, the structure of legal thinking has not yet been fully understood in many areas or assembled into an overarching model. This gap is now being structurally closed and balanced against the insights of modern computer science and the limits of objectifiability.

Chapter Overview from a Philosophical PerspectiveChapter 1: Pure reason for the interconnectedness of legal terminologyChapter 2: Practical reason for structuring the legal systemChapter 3: Antithesis of individual experience beyond all normative structuresChapter 4: Synthesis of the limits of legal theory, science, and technologyThrough this comprehensive analysis, it becomes clear that both legal norms and institutional structures must be fundamentally revised to meet the challenges of the individual, society, and the digital era.

Key Aspects of the Book:
- Linking epistemology and legal practice with an in-depth look at artificial intelligence.
- Artificial intelligence as a socio-economic-technical socio-system comprising humans, institutions, and machines for more comprehensive modeling and precise legal applications.
- Ethical and philosophical implications of AI in law, including the responsibility of clients, judicial and enforcement authorities, as well as the role of algorithms.
- Practical applications of AI in judicial decision-making and their impact on access to justice.
- A systematic deconstruction model that re-contextualizes existing legal structures.
This book is a valuable resource not only for legal professionals but for anyone wishing to engage with the future of legal adjudication and gain a closer understanding of the opportunities, challenges, and limits of digitalization and artificial intelligence in law.
