Using dynamic logic programming to model legal reasoning

Dynamic logic programming allows the representation and the inference of evolving knowledge. Legal knowledge reasoning needs the capability to model laws that change over time and to model laws produced by distinct entities with different priorities at different time points. In this paper we propose the use of dynamic logic programming to model these legal dynamic situations. Some examples are discussed and the implementation of a legal oracle server is described.
