When citizens think about law's ways of knowing and about how legal
officials gather information, assess factual claims, and judge
people and situations, they are often confused by the seemingly
arcane and constrained quality of the information-gathering,
fact-evaluating procedures that legal officials employ or impose.
Yet, law's ways of knowing are as varied as the institutions and
officials who populate any legal system. From the rules of evidence
to the technologies of risk management, from the practices of
racial profiling to the development of trade knowledge, from the
generation of independent knowledge practices to law's dependence
on outside expertise, even a brief survey shows that law knows in
many different ways, that its knowledge practices are contingent
and responsive to context, and that they change over time.
