On 23 May 2016, 5:00-6:30 pm, Council Room (TMT 14), Prof. Matthias Klatt (Institute for Legal Philosophy, Legal Sociology and Legal Policy, Faculty of Law, University of Graz) will hold a lecture "Legal Argumentation and the Rule of Law". 

 

Summary

Both the concept of legal argumentation and the concept of the rule of law are contested and subject to irrationality objections. In this talk, I will refute these objections by analyzing the two concepts and focusing on their mutual relation. Based on a new account of the rule of dual-natured law, I will elaborate in detail on how law's dual nature play out in the various forms and problems of legal reasoning, allowing for a third theory of legal argumentation which integrates formal and material elements by means of optimization.
