Abstract
The aim of this paper is to outline a structure of legal knowledge that is involved in resolution of complex legal cases comprising intertemporal issues and constitutional problems. Although the topics of dynamics of legal systems are already well-elaborated in the AI and Law literature, the problem of constitutional admissibility of certain types of changes to the legal systems remains an underexplored issue. The model developed in this paper is designed to fill in this gap. The meta-information concerning admissibility of certain changes to legal systems (with regard to relevant constitutional principles) should become a standard element of any well-developed database of statutory legal knowledge.
