VEGA No. 1/0386/19 - New Dimension Of The Methodology Of The Legal Argumentation - A Role Of The Legal Principles In Multi - Level Legal System, 01/2019-12/2021, co-worker

The scientific objective of the project is to investigate the conflict potential of legal principles in the process of solving conflicts arising between different levels of the legal system. Finding a suitable argumentation model that is uniformly acceptable across all levels of the multilevel legal system is one of the most recent challenges of the current legal science. The appropriate methodological solution is the traditional argumentation method of grasping the problem of gaps, just completed with the dimension of processes of globalization and Europeanisation. The innovative way of applying the legal principles makes it possible to achieve a value consensus between national, European and international legal systems. Part of the project is the analysis of the problems of this methodological procedure and the examination of the importance of the constitutional principles of the Slovak Republic in the multi-level communication process.

APVV-21-0336 Analysis of Judicial Decisions Using Artificial Intelligence Methods, 07/2022–06/2026, Principal Investigator

The use of artificial intelligence and innovative technologies in the public sector, particularly in judicial decision-making, is a current area of interest for the European Union, as evidenced by several official documents. Judicial decision-making by the competent courts requires knowledge of legal principles, legal doctrines, and an understanding of legal texts. For these reasons, the research objectives of this project are focused on knowledge extraction from the texts of judicial decisions of the courts of the Slovak Republic and their automated analysis. Specifically, the first research objective is the identification and extraction of attributes and relationships within judicial decisions and the creation of a pilot search tool for retrieving relevant decisions. The second research objective focuses on analyzing the attributes extracted from judicial decisions in relation to legal institutions and legal principles in practical application, as well as the methods of evidence-taking in judicial proceedings. The research team includes experts in the theory of law, ICT law, procedural law disciplines, data analysis, computer science, and natural language processing.

ÚS 7/2021 concerning the issue of a referendum.

The analysis covers the institution of a nationwide referendum as well as regional referenda, where analogous problematic aspects are identified. These are examined in the broader context of the implicit material core of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic.
