Abstract
Defeasibility is a concept of interest to lawyers and to logicians. Sometimes legal arrangements are said to be defeasible in the sense that they can be upset or set aside despite an initial appearance of validity and durability. In logic, ways are sought to handle cases of inference or entailment where the connection between condition and consequence is less watertight than that required by classical logic(s). And then the talk is of ‘defeasible logic’. Debate at the junction between law and logic, especially debate on the harnessing of information technology, expert systems and the like to legal work, seems specially apt for inquiring into defeasibility as, perhaps, a concept of joint interest to lawyers and logicians.
