Programme Description
Dear Prospective Students for the Law and Logic Summer School,
We are overjoyed to announce that the 2024 Summer School will take place in person and online at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. The course will take place over six days: from Monday, 1 July to Saturday, 6 July.
This will be the eleventh year of the Summer School, which is jointly hosted by the European University Institute (Florence, Italy) and the Harvard Law School (Cambridge, Mass., U.S.A.). It is also sponsored by CIRSFID-Alma AI, the Law Department, The University of Bologna (Italy), The University of Hamburg, the European Academy of Legal Theory, and the ERC Project CompuLaw. This course is designed to give students rigorous training in a wide variety of logical methods that can assist in the analysis of law for all kinds of legal analysts, including students, lawyers, judges and scholars. The overall framework for the course is the Logocratic Method, a systematic method for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of arguments, including, but not limited to, legal arguments.
Some of our students may also be interested in the Summer School on AI and Law, which is also planned to take place in Florence from Monday, 8 July to Friday, 12 July, and is sponsored by the European University Institute in Florence and the University of Pittsburgh.
Meanwhile, we hope that you and those close to you stay well.
Very warmly,
Scott Brewer and Giovanni Sartor, on behalf of other professors in the Law and Logic Summer School.
