I'm assuming you mean the rule described in http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Formal_Logic/Sentential_Logic/Inference_Rules
type Disj a b = Either a b

If you know "either a is true, or b is true" and you know "from a, I can prove c", and you know "from b, I can prove c", then you can prove c.
aka: import Data.Either type Disj = Either disj_elim = either Stefan
