Scenario Analysis in Karlsruhe
This Article examines scenario analysis, a disruptive argumentation technique used by the German Federal Constitutional Court (GFCC) in recent high-profile cases, such as the so-called climate protection case (Klimaschutz) and other decisions on the fundamental right to intergenerational justice (Grundrecht auf Generationengerechitgkeit). After explaining the basic argumentative steps involved in scenario analysis, for example designing scenarios…
Critical Thinking
La precomprensione dell'interprete è arbitraria
Il concetto di precomprensione svolge un ruolo chiave nella metodologia giuridica contemporanea. È infatti opinione ampiamente condivisa che l'interpretazione giudiziale sia condizionata dalle competenze linguistiche e tecnico-giuridiche del giudice, dalle sue presupposizioni e inclinazioni, dai suoi valori e preferenze politiche; fattori, questi, che conducono il giudice ad anticipare il senso (precomprendere) del testo oggetto di interpretazion…
The Opacity of Law
It is well known that experts’ opinion and testimony take on a decisive weight in judicial fact-finding, raising issues and perplexities that have long been under scholarly scrutiny. In this paper I argue that expert’s opinions have a much wider impact on legal decision-making. In particular, they may generate a problem that I will call ‘the opacity of law’. A legal text, such as a statute or regulation, becomes opaque if a legal authority is not…
Three Concepts of Probabilistic Causation in the Law
»Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes. Besseres lässt sich von einem Verfassungskommentar nicht sagen.“ Herbert Günther Staaatsanzeiger für das Land Hessen 2018 (50), 1494–1495
Analogical Reasoning and Extensive Interpretation
Extensive interpretation of legal provisions is in tension with the prohibition of reasoning by analogy in criminal law, for it is unclear what the difference is between the two. Some scholars claim that they differ from a theoretical point of view, since they do not have the same argumentative structure. On the other hand, the two come to the same result starting from the same legal materials: they justify the extension of a regulation to a case…
Analogy and Exemplary Reasoning in Legal Discourse
Exemplary judges are important for legal theory and legal practice.Still the conception of imitation of exempla as analogical reasoning is criticized here.Imitation as character development may well be more important.Thus, there is, at least, it is argued, one kind of exemplary reasoningnamely, imitative reasoning -that is not coextensive with analogical reasoning.Exempla have educational value, help in theorizing about excellence in adjudication…
