Statistics for Lawyers is designed to introduce law students, law
teachers, practitioners, and judges to the basic ideas of
mathematical probability and statistics as they have been applied
in the law. The book consists of sections of exposition followed by
real-world cases and case studies in which statistical data have
played a role. The reader is asked to apply the theory to the
facts, to calculate results (a hand calculator is sufficient), and
to explore legal issues raised by quantitative findings. The
authors' calculations and comments are given in the back of the
book. The cases and case studies reflect a broad variety of legal
subjects, including antidiscrimination, mass torts, taxation,
school finance, identification evidence, preventive detention,
handwriting disputes, voting, environmental protection, antitrust,
and the death penalty. The first edition of Statistics for Lawyers,
which appeared in 1990, has been used in law, statistics, and
social science courses. In 1991 it was selected by the University
of Michigan Law Review as one of the important law books of the
year. This second edition includes many new problems reflecting
current developments in the law, including a new chapter on
epidemiology. Michael O. Finkelstein is a practicing lawyer in New
York City. He has been a member of the adjunct faculty of Columbia
University Law School since 1967, teaching Statistics for Lawyers,
and has also taught at Harvard, New York University, and Yale Law
Schools. He is the author of a book of essays, Quantitative Methods
in Law, and numerous law review articles on the applications of
statistics in law. He frequently consults and testifies in
litigated matters. Bruce Levin is a professor at the Joseph L.
Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University in the
Division of Biostatistics. He is the Consulting Editor for
Statistics for the American Journal of Public Health, participates
in clinical trials, and is the author of numerous articles on the
subject of biostatistics. He has consulted and testified as an
expert in many law cases involving statistical issues.
