Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, ISBN 0-7923-6105-9, 2000.

This book proposes a computational framework for the integration of rules and cases for analytic tasks typified by legal analysis, sets forth a new model of legal precedent based upon the framework, and shows how this model satisfies key jurisprudential criteria for precedent-based legal reasoning.
