Is a trial a search for truth? Do adversarial procedures and exclusionary rules of evidence enable, or impede, the accurate determination of factual issues? Can degrees of proof be identified with mathematical probabilities? What role can statistical evidence properly play? How can courts best handle the scientific testimony on which cases sometimes turn? How are they to distinguish reliable scientific testimony from unreliable hokum? The dozen interdisciplinary essays collected here explore a whole nexus of such questions about science, proof, and truth in the law.  With her characteristic clarity and verve, in these essays Haack brings her original and distinctive work in theory of knowledge and philosophy of science to bear on real-life legal issues. She includes detailed analyses of a wide variety of cases and lucid summaries of relevant scientific work, of the many roles of the scientific peer-review system, and of relevant legal developments"-- 7aEvidence (Law).2BUEsh940410 7aAdmissible evidence.2BUEsh940409 7aScience and law2BUEsh940408  2BUEsh  bLLAAWWcJuly2016  2ddce22k347.06 HAA  c22010d21982  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc1STd2016-07-21ePurchaseg675.00h26080l0o347.06 HAAp000032924r2025-07-15 00:00:00v843.75yBB  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc1STd2016-07-21ePurchaseg675.00h26080l0o347.06 HAAp000032923r2025-07-15 00:00:00v843.75yBB
