The outcome of a legal dispute, namely, the decision of its adjudicator, is uncertain, and both parties develop
their strategies on the basis of their appreciation of the probability that the adjudicator will accept
their arguments or the arguments of their adversary. Costs and gains have to be balanced in light of this
uncertainty in order to identify the most convenient strategies. This paper provides a probabilistic approach
embedded into an argumentation framework to capture this uncertainty and its use to determine
the expected utility to engage in a legal dispute
