USING AN EXPERT SYSTEM IN TESTING LEGAL RULES

Lothar P h i l i p p s I n s t i t u t für

Rechtsphilosophie und Rechtsinformatik Universität München

Ludwigstraße 29/I+IV 8000 MÜNCHEN 22 (West Germany)

Every expert system has an inf e r e n c e machine t h a t draws conclusions from a set of r u l e s . Normally, the user of the expert system w i l l be i n t e r e s t e d i n a c o n c l u s i o n , not a r u l e , at l e a s t not at the beginning. However, you can a l s o use the system the other way around: using c o n c l u s i o n s to t e s t r u l e s . I f a con c l u s i o n i s t o be r e j e c t e d , at l e a s t one r u l e has to be r e j e c t e d a l s o .

Every expert system has to be used i n t h i s reverse way f o r as long as i t i s i n progress. Only, w i t h l e g a l Systems, t h i s way of u s i n g i t should be permanent.

F i r s t , the law i s a set of r u l e s that i s c o n s t a n t l y i n the making. Lawmakers, c o u r t s , and l e g a l s c h o l a r s never stop c o n s t r u c t i n g i t .

Second, l e g a l r u l e s are more than instruments t o produce d e c i s i o n s . They are a l s o d i r e c t i v e s f o r human behaviour and as such have t o be considered f o r ri g h t n e s s and a l s o c o m p r e h e n s i b i l i t y .

Considering t h i s , I would l i k e t o suggest some po s t u l a t e s f o r l e g a l expert Systems. (a) The set of r u l e s should be s t r i c t l y separated from the Computer program. Such a Separation i s adv i s a b l e anyway f o r an expert system but w i t h a l e g a l system i t i s imperative. Again, the reason i s p a r t l y p r a c t i c a l , p a r t l y e t h i c a l : you do not need to i n t e r f e r e w i t h the Computer program to a l t e r the r u l e s e t , as w i l l f r e q u e n t l y be necessary. A l s o , the r u l e set i s not as transparent as i t should be i f i t i s mixed up w i t h the program. (b) The people e n t e r i n g r u l e s i n a l e g a l expert system should be the same people who handle these r u l e s i n t h e i r d a i l y work. Ordinary lawyers should do t h i s , not a few s p e c i a l i s t s . The need for s p e c i a l i s t s would hinder the p r o f i t a b i l i t y of a seperate program and r u l e s e t . (c) This means th a t the "normal form" i n which a r u l e has to be put should be as p i a i n as p o s s i b l e and as c l o s e t o n a t u r a l language as p o s s i b l e .

The MUnich Legal Expert system MULE t r i e s to match these P o s t u l a t e s i n the most simple way 1: i t s i n f e r e n c e machine i s r e s t r i c t e d to p r o p o s i t i o n a l l o g i c . To put a r u l e i n i t s "normal form" only means t o break i t down to simple l i n g u i s t i c components

so that the Computer can check them s y s t e m a t i c a l l y . Even so i t requires a c e r t a i n amount of stubborness to analyse l e g a l r u l e s . But the d i f f i c u l t i e s are l e g a l ones. They become v i s i b l e because the warm mist of common sense i l l u s i o n s about understanding what was s a i d by the lawmaker must be blown away a l i t t l e .

Who needs MULE? Anyone who wants to c l a r i f y h i s ideas about a set of r u l e s or to improve on t h e i r formulation. This can be a l e g a l d r a f t e r who wants h i s products to be comprehensible, a law Student who wants to understand a r u l e , or a l e g a l scholar whose job i t i s to systematise the law and to teach i t .

Let me give an example. The German C i v i l Code provided f o r an assignment of a claim as follows.

§ 398. A Claim may, by contract with another person, be assigned by the c r e d i t o r to him (assignment). ...

§ 399. A Claim i s not assignable ... i f assignment i s excluded by agreement with the debtor.

§ 405. I f the debtor has executed a document of indebtedness, and i f the claim i s assigned along with production of the document, he may not, as against the assignee maintain that the i n c u r r i n g or acknowledgement of the O b l i g a t i o n was only a sham, or that the assignment was exluded by agreement with the assigner unless the assignee, at the time of the assignment, knew or should have known of the circumstances.

The t r a n s l a t i o n by Ian Forrester et a l matches l e t t e r and s p i r i t or the o r i g i n a l p e r f e c t l y w e l l . Do not b e l i e v e that the German version i s e a s i e r to understand.

To make a Computer run on t h i s , one has to c l a r i f y the Statement considerably. A c l a r i f i e d version would be structured as follows:

(a) Rule: A claim may, by contract with another person ... (assignment).

(b) Exception to (a): . . . i f assignment i s excluded by agreement with the debtor.

(c) Counter-exception to (b): (Exception (b) w i l l not work) i f the debtor has executed a document of indebtedness.

(d) Counter-counter-exception to ( c ) : (The production of the document i s i n e f f i c i e n t i f ) the assignee, at the time of the assignment, knew or should have known of the circumstances.

We now see the g i s t : a sequence of rules and exceptions, s u r p r i s i n g l y long but p i a i n i n i t s structure. With t h i s i n mind i t i s easy to formulate the Statements i n a way the Computer can handle. I t i s also easy to teach or learn them or to compare them with other examples of the estoppel p r i n c i p l e , be i t i n the German l e g a l system or i n another one.

MULE's Computer program i s written i n FÖRTH. Therefore, the expert system S h e l l i s remarkably f l e x i b l e (Expert2, Mountain View Press). Besides, FÖRTH runs on small micros that any Student can a f f o r d . We run MULE on an ATARI 800XL as well as one an IBM

APPENDIX Here are two samples of a r u l e set (shortened) and a

dialogue. Please note t h a t the r u l e s should be read s t a r t i n g from the end (Rule #20). Not th a t the order makes a b i g d i f f e r e n c e to the Computer, which connects the r u l e s l o g i c a l l y , but i f two e n t r i e s are on the same l o g i c a l l e v e l , the l a t e r one w i l l be considered f i r s t . You would not change anything i f you placed Rule #17 wherever e i s e you l i k e . Rule #17 i s only l o g i c a l l y completing Rule #18. But i f you switched the order of Rule #11 and Rule #12, the Computer would ask f o r the c o n d i t i o n s of r u l e #11 - then the l a t e r one - f i r s t .

As f o r the d i a l o g u e s , i t i s the Computer that asks the questions. You can r e p l y w i t h Y, N, or W (Yes, No, Why) . Fo l l o w i n g general p r a c t i c e i n German jurisprudence, the debtor i s c a l l e d A, the c r e d i t o r B, the assignee C.
