LOGIC AND PROBABILITY ASPECT OF ELECTRONIC JUSTICE

Abstract

Prospect of complete electronic justice is analyzed in the light of ability to assess legal arguments quantitatively which is grounded on the logical probability concept. Specificity and range of application of the Leibniz-ian approach to the assessment are elucidated in comparison with the “objec-tive Bayesianism”. A fundamental drawback that challenges any attempt to fulfil complete electronic justice today is pointed out: this one is generated by essential role of human intuition in assigning of the initial data necessary to assess legal arguments quantitatively. Presumably, final completion of electronic justice will demand not only objective and powerful artificial intelligence but relevant artificial intuition as well.
