Abstract: This paper describes a model of the complementarity of rules and precedents in the classification task. Under this model, precedents assist rule-based reasoning by operationalizing abstract rule antecedents. Conversely, rules assist case-based reasoning through case elaboration, the process of inferring case facts in order to increase the similarity between cases, and term reformulation, the process of replacing a term whose precedents only weakly match a case with terms whose precedents...

.... source of uncertainty in legal reasoning is the gap in generality between abstract legal concepts and the specific facts of new cases [Gar87, BP91]. Precedents are useful in deciding new cases because they provide examples of specific facts that satisfy such concepts....
