  2. “Legal Expert Systems” project1992-19981999-2001 Japanese Ministry of Education, Science and Culture 30 lawyers and computer scientists Hajime YOSHINO （Meiji Gakuin Univ.) Kaoru HIROTA (Tokyo Institute of Technology) CISG: United Nation Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods Japanese / English versions

  3. Background Target Law United Nation Convention on Contract for the International Sale of Goods: CISG Cases Case Law on UNCITL(United Nations Commission on International Trade law) Texts: CLOUT

  4. Background Vagueness in Legal Concept CISG Article 14-1 A proposal for concluding a contract addressed to one or more specific persons constitutes an offer if it is sufficiently definite and indicates the intention of the offer to be bound in case of acceptance. A proposal is sufficiently definite if it indicates the goods and expressly or implicitly fixes or makes provision for determining the quantity and the price. Case Based Reasoning

  5. Legal Case Based Reasoning ISSUE: α Fuzziness a : Event of Precedent a' ： Event of Query Case Precedent : A(a) Conclusion:B(a) Querycase :A' (a') If A(a) and A' are similar: Matching A(a)≒A' (a') The Conclusion of A' is the same as A’s B' (a') ≒ B(a)

  10. Two-stages Fuzzy retrieval Input First stage: First Stage Case Base Second Stages:Second Retrieved Stage Cases in First stage Retrieving a set of cases that have the same issues Retrieving the similar case that has the most high similarity degree Output

  11. Similarity of Fuzzy Sets Based on Hausdroff Distance µ(v) 1.0 A B 0.0 v 1.0 ① dH (A,B,β) = β * (A,B) + (1- β) * (A,B) ② (A,B) = (inf{r;A0 U (B0 ; r)} + inf {r; B0 U(A0 ; r)} / 2 ③ (A,B) = (inf{r;A1U (B1; r)} + inf {r; B1 U (A1; r)} / 2

  12. Implementation of FuzzyLegal CBR System Reference Case: Cultivator Precedent Cases Test-Tubes(CLOUT) Screws(CLOUT) Chinchilla pelts(CLOUT) Jet Engine System(CLOUT) Automobile (CLOUT) Shoes(CLOUT) Tire(CLOUT) Electronic(CLOUT)

  13. Reference Case: Cultivator Event: proposal The goods are a cultivator. The quantity of the cultivator is one. Concerning the price. The price of the tractor is fixed. The machine contains the tractor and rake Precedent Case: Jet Engine System Event: Proposal The goods are jet engine systems. The quantity of engine systems can be calculated by the quantity of plans that will be purchased. Concerning the price: There is no description about the prices of jet engine systems. The price of Boeing jet engine is fixed. The jet engine system includes a support package, services so on.
