Abstract

In this paper an attempt is made to apply the dialogical approach to modelling legal justification in a particular legal case and to present a dialogical reconstruction of a controversial judicial decision from the Macedonian legal context. The reconstruction is carried out using a contemporary dialogical model of legal justification: Arno Lodder’s DiaLaw. The dialogical approach on which this model is based is shown to be suitable for representing the argumentative dynamics and strategic elements of legal argumentation. However, there are still some open questions related to its use, especially concerning the normative status of dialogical rules and the possibility of modelling the role of the judge or arbiter in legal controversies.
