Abstract :
This paper considers the problem of decision making by a Judge in case of murder cases. The paper describes the construction of decision system to be used by a Judge about to pass sentence in a murder case. The system is an Analogy making from examples. In law, analogy is used to resolve issues on which there is no previous authority. Analogies are drawn from precedent cases. The Judge finds that the facts of another case are similar to the one at hand to an extent that the analogous application of the rule established in the previous case is justified. In this paper a neural network is described for judgment in murder cases. The examples demonstrate how to model legal system analogous to recent decisions, first by learning a system with court decisions, and second, by analyzing, modeling and testing the decision making neural network.
