Research On Wigmore 's Graphic Method

My article mains to research Wigmore Chart as one of argument theories, from the perspective of analysis and assessment. It is dependent on the introduction of Wigmore Chart for discussing “proof” in court, Doubtlessly, It is a kind of example of the argument theories. and Apparently, Wigmore’s affection to theorise the course of “proof” in court has the signs of informal logic, and even drove the progress of informal logic. This article about Wigmore Chart, gives an interpretation from existing knowledge of argument theories. The arrangement of the thesis is roughly as follows:The first part, I prepare to discuss Wigmore and the background of Wigmore Chart born at the right moment, from the stating of practical problems, that evidence law had encountered. I sketch the contours of the thinking that from Rules to Proof. And in this course, logic is assignable, even distinctly important theory fountainhead. the purpose of this part is for underlining practical approach of Wigmore Chart, according to comb shortly. As an effective tool aims to fact finding in evidence law, Wigmore Chart is with practice of natural attributes.The second part mainly focuses on introducing Wigmore Chart. First, I intend to clarify every elements and what it means. Then, discussing how the whole elements link to a single chart. Finally, I give a example of Wigmore Chart for revealing the mechanism of its work.the third part is not only about evaluation and analyse of Wigmore Chart, but also is the core of the paper. First, according to expound the argumentation nature of Wigmore Chart to introduce the notion of Argumentation Situation. and it is essential theoretical cornerstone to argument structure analysis and evaluation. is also The key difference between the informal logic perspective that i grasps and the formal logic perspective. So I need a single part for details. Second, comparing Toulmin’s model of argument and Freeman’s approach, as well as the Wigmore chart method. This scheme can effectively describe the kind of argument. Finally, discussing third type of reasoning-plausible reasoning. For verisimilitude reasoning of this investigation is to assess, it relate to show how the probative value of the whole argument.
