Argumentation, reasoning and justification have always been inherent parts of lawyers’ work. Lawyers themselves are obviously well aware of the fact and would almost unanimously acknowledge that enhancing one’s knowledge and skills in argumentation has a direct impact on the quality of their work. The issue of argumentation has been generally approached from two directions. The pragmatic approach has appraised the argumentation as a field mostly concerned with the persuasion of others (e.g. an opposing party or a judge) in order to succeed in legal battles (e.g. negotiation or court trial). The theoretical approach to the argumentation is usually concerned with the study of the nature and structure of arguments, development of models and frameworks of argumentation and assessment of ways to strengthen or attack arguments.
