This volume seeks to revive the field of law and logic. It offers an up-to-date and accessible survey of several issues highlighting the practical applicability, utility and relevance of logic for the study of law, and its application (including legal argumentation). The included contributions cover a range of approaches and are presented in a way that is both stimulating for current debates in the field, and at the same time, accessible to a wider audience.
