Towards (Probabilistic) Argumentation for Jury-based Dispute Resolution

Abstract. We propose an argumentation framework for modelling jury-based dispute resolution where the dispute parties present their arguments before a judge and a jury. While the judge as the arbiter of law determines the legal permissibility of the presented arguments the jurors as triers of facts determine their probable weights. Such a framework is based on two key components: classical argumentation frameworks containing legally permissible arguments and probabilistic spaces assigning probable weights to arguments. A juror's probability space is represented by a set of possible worlds coupled with a probabilistic measure computed by assumption-based argumentation framework using grounded semantics. Keywords.
