In legal reasoning, different assumptions are often considered when reaching a final verdict and judgement outcomes strictly depend on these assumptions. In this paper, we propose an approach for generating a declarative model of judgements from past legal cases, that expresses a legal reasoning structure in terms of principle rules and exceptions. Using a logic-based reasoning technique, we are able to identify from given past cases different underlying defaults (legal assumptions) and compute judgements that cover all possible cases (including past cases) within a given set of relevant factors. The extracted declarative model of judgements can then be used to make deterministic automated inference on future judgements, as well as generate explanations of legal decisions.
